ENGIE in the Ring with startups

Get in the Ring is an international pitch competition whose goal is to promote startups to international investors by means of an original concept in which entrepreneurs "clash" in “battles” in a boxing ring.Like in a boxing competition, two company creators face off in the ring in front of an audience of investors. This audience, the selection committee, then choose the best project. 

With a foothold in 100 different countries, the Get in the Ring Foundation hosts pitch competitions around the world for startups and innovators. The winners of each national event meet for the finale, the overall winner of which is then invited to travel around the world to meet with organizations, investors and companies willing to collaborate with them.
