About The Perfect Pitch

The Perfect Pitch is more than a startup competition. It’s a journey connecting Italian entrepreneurial talent with the opportunities offered by the American market.

Promoted by RetImpresa–Confindustria in collaboration with the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, with the support of the Consulate General of Italy in New York, the initiative follows three selected Italian startups as they travel to the United States to meet investors, accelerators, business leaders, and industry experts.

Their journey is documented in a six-episode television series, scheduled for distribution on Mediaset Infinity in 2027, showcasing Italian innovation and entrepreneurship to a broader international audience.

The November 3 networking event will be one of the moments captured during the production, bringing together the people, ideas, and connections that make New York a global hub for innovation.
