About SESUN/SESUN Activities/iPitch/iPitch@ACES 2023

 

iPitch @ ACES, is an investor pitching event, organised by SEAS’ Sustainable Energy Start-Up Network (SESUN) as part of Singapore International Energy Week, in partnership with the Private Financing Advisory Network (PFAN) and Enterprise Singapore. 12 start-ups are invited to pitch to venture capitalists and investors using a ‘speed dating’ approach: each start-up will have 5 minutes to give their best pitch to the investors followed by another 5 minutes Q&A by the investors. 

On October 25th, the top 12 start-ups presented their innovative solutions to a panel of distinguished jury from Mirova SunFunder, New Energy Nexus, Private Financing Advisory Network (PFAN) and TRIREC.

 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our supporting and partner organisations, as well as participating start-ups for yet another exciting iPitch @ACES edition.

 

 

 

Congrats to the 12 start-ups selected for iPitch @ACES 2023. These start-ups been through a month of mentorship to refine their presentation and business models and pitch it out at Asia Clean Energy Summit 2023.
