The Spark of Genius is the largest startup competition in, we reckon, the world. We're searching the planet for 200 incredible startups to pitch in front of over 5,000 attendees from around the world this coming October at the Web Summit in Dublin. Half of these finalists will be sourced from our Pub Summits.

For each Pub Summit, startups can submit an application. We'll then open up voting to the public. The most popular startup for each city will be fast-tracked to Day 1 at the Dublin Web Summit.
