Here are the finalists of the Hello Tomorrow Open Summit

On March 14^th and 15^th, the Centquatre-Paris center in Paris will host the Hello Tomorrow Open Summit, one of the biggest international events dedicated to the most innovative startups in the world. Deep technology, scientific research and brilliant ideas will be the key words of this Summit which, since 2013, the year of the first edition, has grown to establish itself as one of the reference platforms in the deep tech world.

Hello Tomorrow Open Summit is also one of the most profitable challenges for technology startups in Europe: thanks to the many sponsors of the event, a €15K prize for the best startup in each track and a €100k grand prize for the best one overall, equity-free and no string attached, are offered. But not just funding: the finalists will also gain visibility and connections, thanks to support and interaction with top-level executives and selected investors from the industry.

A little more than a month before the event, the 80 most promising ideas from the world of innovation have been selected: they will have the opportunity to challenge each other during the Summit. Divided into the 12 categories in which the event is developed, here are the startups that have conquered the Hello Tomorrow team:
