Machine Demo is a competition showcasing the most exciting products created by startups at Web Summit.
The top 20 startups who apply will get the opportunity to show how their product in Hardware & IoT, AI & machine learning and Gaming AR & VR works live on the Machine Demo stage.
Competition format
Each startup will be allocated six minutes onstage to demo their product followed by a two-minute Q&A. The audience will vote on their favourite startup using Slido through our Web Summit mobile app. The four startups with the highest scorewill go through to the final round.
Our four finalists will each deliver another six-minute demo, followed by a two-minute Q&A with our panel of 5 judges. All judges are provided with a tablet on the day of the competition and use it to score each startup. The scores are then saved and combined with the scores from the other judges.
