Presented by North Star Europe, we kick off Expand North Star’s 10th anniversary in style by transforming North Star by Night into an immersive playground where tech, startups, and nightlife collide.
Let loose, mingle, and dance the evening away to high-energy beats, while diving into short talent battles that let you shine.
Showcase your creative talents- sing, dance, or perform spoken word; or flex your founder skills with micro-pitches, elevator pitches, and lightning-round innovation challenges. Let’s uncover the hidden stars at North Star!
This is your chance to celebrate, compete, and connect with the international GITEX & North Star community.
