About SOF
Startup of the Future (SOF) is a global technology and innovation expo built for the people who create what comes next — founders, investors, enterprises, researchers and policy makers. Over five days, SOF 2026 turns one venue into a working marketplace of ideas, capital and technology.
Our Story
SOF began with a simple belief: a great idea should never fail because it could not find the right room. We built that room. Today SOF brings together early-stage startups and global corporations under one roof, giving each side what it needs most — visibility, credible partners and a direct path to business.
To accelerate the journey from idea to impact. SOF gives startups a stage in front of the investors, buyers and mentors who can actually move their business forward — and gives enterprises a curated pipeline of innovation they can adopt immediately.
Five focused days across an exhibition floor, multiple summit stages, curated matchmaking lounges and a live pitch arena. Every format is designed for outcomes — meetings that convert, demos that get remembered and conversations that continue after the show.
