From February 25 you can also help other start-ups reach the next round by voting for them.

On the second conference day the finalists will enter the big stage to present their visions and business models during the pitch-session, moderated by Hermione Way (Newspepper, TNW).  The tech journalist and entrepreneur has led the programme for the last two years and, in 2012, stated that she was “really impressed with the quality of start-ups coming out of Berlin”.
