On 15 September 2026, the Autumn CreaTech International Pitch Event brought together start-ups from the Cultural and Creative Industries and an international panel of investors for an afternoon of ideas, feedback and direct exchange. Moderated by Prof. Dr. Jaka Vadnjal, the event gave each team three minutes to present its business idea, followed by a short investor Q&A. The format allowed start-ups not only to showcase their concepts, but also to respond directly to questions and feedback from experienced investors.
Eight start-ups from across Europe took the stage: Zonda Creative from Kosovo, SCORPI from Slovenia, Timeless Capsule from Albania, SOPHROSYNE from Greece, British Mauritius from the United Kingdom, Pop2See from Greece, Ori-Artizan – N’prag from Albania, and Rrënjët Tona / Our Heritage from Kosovo. Their pitches were discussed by an international investor panel comprising Vincenzo Piscitelli, Tracy Tang, Ardian Hoxha, Gianluca Abbruzzese, Chris Fox, Rok Habinc, Jens Broch and Kogkos Vassilis, bringing perspectives from China, Albania, Italy, the United Kingdom, Slovenia, Denmark and Greece.
The event marked another successful step in the CreaTech project’s efforts to connect emerging creative businesses with investors and experts, while giving participating start-ups a valuable opportunity to refine their pitches and receive direct international feedback.
