Successful candidates will typically meet the following criteria:

3-10 years of trading
Significant further growth potential and ambition
The Scale-Up should not have been a Start-Up exhibitor for more than three years.
The Scale-Up should have a working prototype, product or innovation to display.

Additonal benefits

On top of the full package of the Start-Up Programme, we also offer:

A larger exhibition space: 4m2 x 4m2
A prime location within the Start-Up Market for added value and maximum visibility
Interview in the CPHI Online Newsletter

Scale-Ups also provide additional value – due to the positive link between firm size and productivity. We see Scale-Ups improving not only the innovation on the show floor but also producing a larger positive effect on productivity growth in the wider industry.
