VROOM Tour

Each year the VROOM team visits a number of select cities across the globe in order to meet in person the most innovative local founders. These regional events allow the companies to showcase their businesses to a jury panel made up of carefully selected local investors, government, industry experts and tech executives. The panel will assess the presentations and provide an immediate feedback designed to help the start-ups improve their pitch.
Our aim is to support all featured companies by engaging our network of experts, mentors and investors. A select few will also be given the chance to come to Monaco at the end of each year and present their business at the VROOM Mainstage Event to an exclusive audience of over 200 local and international investors. For others we offer the opportunity to be part of our Innovation Hub or present at a dedicated Spotlight Event  in Monaco or Luxembourg.
