START-UP CONTEST
3D PRINT unveils young talented companies pushing further the limits of additive manufacturing with the Start-up Contest!
The Start-up Contest puts the spotlight on young companies offering revolutionary solutions in additive manufacturing. They compete for the prize of the most innovative start-up in additive manufacturing.


After a first selection made by a Jury of experts, the start-ups in the running present their solutions in additive manufacturing through dynamic and innovative pitches during a dedicated round table in the workshop area. The winner is then announced at the end of the ceremony.
This competition is a unique opportunity to connect brands and principals looking for unique 3D printing solutions with highly motivated young companies. Subscribe to our newsletter to stay posted on the contest (nominated start-ups, award ceremony, nominees solutions…)!
