THE BENEFITS

A platform at the Emerce event of your choice

Choose the Emerce event that fits your market – whether that's e-commerce, AI, marketing or media. You'll be standing in Start-up Alley among the people who really matter.

Your own booth, fully taken care of

You get your own booth, including logo and table. Electricity and drinks are included, so you can focus entirely on your pitch and your conversations. Arrive, set up, get going. Emerce takes care of the rest.

Visibility with investors and the press

Emerce events also attract investors, journalists and influencers. Whether you're looking for your next funding round or want to generate media attention, Start-up Alley puts you in front of the right people in a single day.

Every Start-up Alley participation comes with two tickets for the event, so you and a colleague can make the most of your day pitching, networking and picking up some inspiration of your own.

Tickets for your team

Affordable rate, exclusive spots

Start-up Alley has a limited number of spots and a special start-up rate, making it possible for start-ups still very much in ‘build mode’ to take part in a major Emerce event.

Emerce events attract CMOs, CDOs, CTOs and board members from leading Dutch and international brands. One day at Start-up Alley gets you conversations that would normally take months to set up.
