Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) announced that Innovation Park will return to ISE 2027 following its momentum at the 2026 event.

Innovation Park aims to connect emerging AV businesses with the global industry leaders, systems integrators and investors who can accelerate strategic expansion.

ISE said that ISE 2026 brought international visibility, investor conversations and new distribution opportunities, featuring 130 exhibitors. The Plug and Play Pitching Stage hosted 84 pitch sessions and gave startups an opportunity to present to investors, partners and industry stakeholders. The event also featured a Speed-Dating Evening Event to help attendees build new relationships and spark conversations around collaboration.

“This is our first time at ISE, and from day one we realised it was the right platform for a startup like ours,” said Alberto Paccagnella, Co-Founder of amperry, the Italian startup behind a shared power-bank rental solution capable of charging both mobile devices and laptops. “We connected with people from all over the world, received strong interest in our product, and saw clear opportunities to scale the business internationally beyond Italy.”

The Matchmaking Area was powered by Ambivation and aimed to facilitate connections between investors, startups, innovation managers, corporate representatives and other stakeholders. Seven partner-led sessions featured BCN Health Hub, Youz Talent, Barcelona Activa, EIT Culture & Creativity, CETT and SETT.

Applications are now open for Innovation Park at ISE 2027.

“Innovation Park helps shape the future of the AV industry by giving startups direct access to investors, partners and industry experts,” said Mike Blackman, Managing Director of Integrated Systems Events. “Through its alignment with the ISE Foundation’s commitment to innovation, the programme also helps entrepreneurial talent bring new ideas to market and connect with the wider AV industry. By connecting emerging companies with the right people and organisations, Innovation Park creates real commercial opportunities and supports the next generation of industry growth.”
