What is FTRNW 2021?
FTRNW’s ultimate goal is to create a thriving innovative ecosystem of companies across V4. Since 2011 we have gathered together influential tech visionaries, mentors, speakers, investors with starting businesses to make them shine in the spotlight. This year we bring FTRNW to you in a hybrid edition. If you feel like getting connected to present to a strong community of startups – alumni and experts, with FTRNW you are knocking at the right door.

We are searching for startups from a wide range of sectors. They must be younger than 5 years and have raised less than 1M EUR in external investments. We will pick finalists who will join the hybrid bootcamp and fill their week with a packed agenda. Do you fit in? Apply now and let us shape your future.
Part of FTRNW 2021 is a dashing startup award ceremony. The unique event will be held on 18 November in a hybrid way as well. If you won’t make it to Bratislava, you still have a chance to be part of the night online. Shine with us!
