Noah Conference: 10 years on stage!

Noah celebrates 10 years since its launch. In 2009, its founder Marco Rodzynek wanted to boost a platform to strengthen the European digital economy by offering a space, non-existent at that time, where startups could present on the same stage to many investors. Today NOAH hosts more than 500 investors in each of its three editions in Tel Aviv, Berlin, and London.

Noah organizes three editions, in Tel Aviv, Berlin, and London, all with a different focus. In Tel Aviv, the aim is to connect the Israeli startup ecosystem with large companies and investors, and at the same time create links between Israel and Europe to facilitate access to funding. The Berlin edition aims to provide a platform where traditional companies and their competitors can connect executives with investors driven by the digital revolution.

In London, the main mission is to connect entrepreneurs with investors and provide a physical marketplace that facilitates the financing of European digital startups. Last year, the Catalan Carlota Pi, founder of Holaluz, presented to the attendees the origins and challenges of the company as well as everything they had achieved in seven years of existence. Yesterday, October 30, she presented again on the main stage of Noah London along with other Catalan companies such as Glovo and Novicap. The new group of 10 startups that also took the stage this year is made up of Stayforlong, Snappy Research, Signaturit, Photoslurp, Housfy, Watchity, Verse, SoccerDream, Film valley Sl (Filmarkethub) and Vilynx.

CONNECTING TOP EXECUTIVES, CAPITAL AND TALENT One of this year's challenges is access to capital, especially for early-stage startups. The other is, without a doubt, attracting and retaining technological talent given that large platforms are investing heavily to attract the best.

In 2009 we had big plans in mind but we didn't expect to get this far. In London there are guests, many international VCs, and we have the support of technology companies because from the beginning we have focused on innovation and digitalization. We invite startups to be part of the ecosystem: get out of your environment, network and take the learnings home! - Marco Rodzynek CEO and Founder of Noah Conference
