Global infrastructure, local ownership.

Media and community partners

Cover the season. Reach the builders.

Season 1 spans the launch at the AI Builders Global Conference in October 2026, regional rounds across our target cities, and the grand finale. Media and community partners carry that story to their audiences, including the Milan startup community.

What media and community partners get

  • Named visibility across the season and on the target-city pages in scope
  • Access to coverage moments: the launch at the AI Builders Global Conference and the grand finale
  • Cross-promotion to the WomenTech Network and AI Builders Network communities
  • A published partner placement once the relationship and logo rights are approved

What they bring

  • Genuine reach into a startup, investor or builder audience
  • Committed coverage or distribution during the season
  • Cross-promotion of the competition to their community
  • A named contact for the season

Placement on this site follows the same rule as everything else here: a partner appears only after the relationship is approved and published, with its real scope and dates. Interest alone is never displayed.

Relationship scopes

A global relationship does not erase the local one.

Global sponsors

Award- and season-wide partners support the shared platform, prize, programming or distribution across participating regions.

Local partners

Regional hosts manage local production and may bring local sponsors, subject to the global category and publication policy.

Media partners

Coverage relationships are tracked separately with their real scope, approved assets, visibility dates and deliverables.

Additional sponsor and media-partner placements will appear only after the corresponding relationship and logo rights are approved. None are inferred from conference participation.
