SXSW Pitch is a platform to allow early stage technology startups to pitch their product and/or services to industry technology experts, high profiled media personnel, and Venture Capitalists / Angel Investors. Five companies will dazzle a live audience, panel of judges with their ideas, innovations, product and/or service on Saturday, March 14th in Salon DE on the 4th floor of the Hilton Hotel. We will announce the winner of the Innovative World Technologies category at the SXSW Pitch Awards Ceremony on Sunday, March 15th at 6:30pm in Salon H on the 6th floor of the Hilton Hotel.

This category is for any creative and innovative application, product, or service that does not fit in another SXSW Pitch category, as well as technologies that act as the backbone that new technologies or forms of communication are built on. Examples of technologies that might fit into this category include (but are not limited to) payments and financial technologies, food-related technologies, computer chip technology, energy, space, natural resources, and others.
