KPMG SIL (Startup innovation Lab) Investor Day celebrates innovation and bold ideas

The KPMG SIL Investor Day made a powerful statement on Thursday, 12 June, as the pioneering and vibrant event unfolded at the Luncheonette in the iconic Labs Tower. A packed room of distinguished guests, forward-thinking investors, and from KPMG SIL’s first cohort promising startups came together to celebrate innovation, bold ideas, and the future of entrepreneurship.

Seven startups took the stage and presented their vision, progress, and ambition pitching their fundraising status to private sectors, the investment community, and innovation ecosystem stakeholders.

The SIL Accelerator is a premier investor-led program focused on investor readiness, dedicated to supporting startups with the resources, mentorship, and networks they need to achieve long-term success by fostering strong connections between entrepreneurs, investors, and industry leaders.
