HFTP's Entrepreneur 20X is a pitch competition that provides hospitality technology start-ups a career-boosting opportunity with exposure to top industry mentors, investors, leaders and executives. The startups compete for two separate awards, including a cash prize, and much more in this thrilling competition series.

"We are grateful for our partnership with Datavision for supporting innovation in Europe this year," said HFTP CEO Frank Wolfe, CAE. "This sponsorship speaks directly to Datavision's commitment to moving the industry forward and assisting these entrepreneurs in taking their companies to the next level."

Companies participating in the E20X competition benefit from access to industry experts, mentorship from key hospitality executives and leaders, venture capitalists and experienced entrepreneurs. Datavision team members have previously served as mentors to E20X participants and enjoyed the experience.

"Datavision is honored to sponsor this vendor startup competition event, initially created by HFTP almost five years ago," said Sherry Marek, co-founder and vice president of Datavision Technologies. "HFTP supports technology and finance professionals in many ways: trade show venues, mentorships, certification, education opportunities, career centers and more. Sudharshan Chary, president of Datavision, welcomes the opportunity to assist other vendors in moving the idea from the back of a napkin to the front of the world."

In addition to HITEC Europe, in 2019 HFTP is producing the larger HITEC Minneapolis on June 17-20 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA and HITEC Dubai on November 12-13 in partnership with Naseba in Dubai, UAE.
