IFTM 2026: simpleSIM wins 1st prize in the Orchestra Start-Up Contest
From September 15th to 17th, we set up shop in Paris, at Porte de Versailles, for IFTM Top Resa, the major event for tourism professionals. Our stand was located in the heart of the Orchestra Start-Up Village: three days of meetings, demos, and great discussions.
On the first day, we were among the six finalists of the Orchestra Start-Up Contest. Four minutes of pitch to present our ambition, to become the eSIM platform for travel professionals, then questions from the jury.
And the jury’s first prize went to… simpleSIM! The jury praised our B2B and premium positioning, as well as our MCP server, which allows professionals to explore our catalog using natural language. We see this prize as a sign of confidence, and it reinforces our choices. Congratulations also to Elia (2nd prize), Pilgrimz (3rd prize), YouCheckInn (people’s choice award), and all the finalists.
Travelers, you’re in good hands. Tourism professionals, discover our solutions for tourism professionals and our API & MCP .
A huge thank you to Orchestra and the IFTM trade show, as well as all their teams. See you at IFTM 2027, at the 9 m² booth we won!
