The top 105 startups that apply will pitch in front of our distinguished judging panel and hundreds of attendees in the group rounds of PITCH, which will take place on our dedicated PITCH stages. Following the group stages, eight startups will advance to the semi-final on Centre Stage, where they will pitch against four fast-tracked startups in a bid for one of three PITCH finalist spots. 

Those three finalists will battle it out on Centre Stage for a chance to be crowned PITCH champion at Web Summit 2023.
