FAQ
How much does it cost?
Startup Pack begins at 3,000€ before VAT (a 25% discount!) and includes 2 staff participation, a booth, a pitch, a round table participation and B2B meetings app. You can upgrade it with optional lunch and/or workshop sponsorship at 2K € each. There is no ticketing, so no other way to participate.
Who can join?
2 staff participants from any Israeli-relative startup can join, with high interest into the 150 biggest enterprises/organizations in France. We need at least one Israeli co-founder, even if the incorporation is not in Israel.
Who should travel to DIMS?
We always suggest 1 tech plus 1 sale person. While we assume that everyone speaks/understands English, it is highly recommended to have 1 FR speaker on site. Let’s discuss it if you don’t have some – which is still doable.
How the selection is done?
After you connect Yossi and get the decision to join; IMA the organizer needs to review and accept your participation.
How will the delegation get prepared?
Challengy will organize a brief before the trip, mostly with the participation of DIMS and the Embassy of Israel in Paris.
What if I want to make it big time?
Let’s discuss your big dream about the french market; sometimes, we can leverage the event with additional services (including CTO-as-a-Service and CBO-as-a-Service, and connection to local PR/marketing services)
