Vinitech is the benchmark event for innovations in the wine, arboriculture and vegetable production sectors in Bordeaux, attracting over 45,000 visitors and 800 exhibitors from 70 countries, and facilitates meetings and boosts business by offering several specific services to connect professionals, visitors and exhibitors. These services include the business meetings facilities which enables delegates to identify and schedule meetings with potential partners.

The French Embassy and Vinitech will present the first-placed South African start-up with a return flight to France, including transfers to Bordeaux, and tickets to the 2020 Vinitech Global Tradeshow. The winner will get an exhibition stand in the start-up area at Vinitech and will present at the ‘Forum des entreprises’.

The winner will also receive an invitation to the Vinitech gala evening where their company will be promoted.
