Proudly presented by Kwik Kopy, the Startup Village holds a curated collection of the most exciting and forward-thinking businesses from across the APAC region. Assisted and promoted by SXSW Sydney, they’ll showcase their ideas, network with potential new investors and customers, and inspire the SXSW Sydney community with their energy and innovation.

This is your chance to hear insights from global leaders in Tech & Innovation, including visionary Slack Co-Founder Cal Henderson, Colossal CEO Ben Lamm, futurist Amy Webb, AI expert Noelle Russell and transparency activist Manal al-Sharif. Through keynotes, presentations, panels and discussions, this is where you’ll hear the ideas of the future.

SXSW Sydney Pitch, presented by Venture Crowd, will see Startups from around the world present their big ideas to a panel of industry experts and investors, all in front of a live audience. The 2023 theme for the SXSW Sydney Pitch is ‘Big Shifts’ and the eventual Best In Show winner will get the chance to present their idea at SXSW in Austin in 2024.
