DETO 2026 Schedule Includes DIPS Startup Demo Day Session

DETO 2026 was scheduled for Nov. 10-12 in Seoul, while Startup Battlefield’s published application and review process does not identify a qualification route tied to the event.

South Korea’s Ministry of SMEs and Startups and the Korea Institute of Startup & Entrepreneurship Development hosted DETO at Grand Hyatt Seoul. The DETO schedule lists a DIPS Startup Demo Day, but no DETO-specific route into Startup Battlefield is listed there.

Startup Battlefield selects 200 companies to exhibit at Disrupt. Twenty finalists pitch on the main stage, and five advance to a final round for a $100,000 equity-free prize. The opening of applications for the 2027 program will be announced later.
