We’re closing TradeTech with a high-energy pitch session spotlighting the next generation of market disruptors. Three start-ups take the stage to deliver rapid-fire pitches- each outlining the problem they’re solving, how their product works, and the real-world impact it could have on trading workflows, market structure, or liquidity access.
From pre-trade intelligence to smarter execution and transparency breakthroughs, this session brings fresh thinking to the surface- live, unfiltered, and ready to be challenged.
Which pitch will resonate- and which ideas are ready for real market traction?
Check out the incredible speaker line-up to see who will be joining Espen.
