On June 23, Day 2 of TEN 2026 – The Ecosystem Network Competition brought energy, innovation, and bold ideas to the forefront.

From the Semi-Final Pitch Competition, where entrepreneurial teams presented their business concepts before a panel of judges, to an engaging AI Innovation Panel exploring the future of artificial intelligence in entrepreneurship and business, the day was filled with insight, creativity, and meaningful conversations.

Day 2 was a true reflection of what TEN is all about — creating space for innovation, collaboration, and the next generation of changemakers to shine.

Day 1 of The Ecosystem Network 2026 was all about preparation, learning, and refining ideas.

In a more intimate setting, participants engaged in interactive workshops covering business development, financial planning, marketing, and branding, while receiving valuable guidance to strengthen their ventures.

The teams also spent the day fine-tuning their pitches, receiving feedback, and building confidence as they prepare for the highly anticipated Semi-Final Pitch Competition tomorrow, June 23.

The foundation has been laid, the ideas have been sharpened, and the stage is set for an exciting day ahead.
