STATE OF THE (DIGITAL) UNION
In this panel discussion, we find representatives of exhibiting start-ups and specialist speakers in a panel discussion on a specific specialist topic. They will explain how technology is changing the status quo for this topic. The discussion will be recorded for a podcast episode.
FOUNDERS FIGHT NIGHT
Battle rap as a pitch duel. In this established format of the Founders Fight Club, two start-ups duel rhetorically and are then intensively “grilled” by a panel of experts. At the end, the audience votes for the winner.
START-UP PRESENTATIONS
In the specialist presentations by the start-ups, visitors will learn more about the problems facing the sector and the innovative solutions of the start-ups in an industrial context. Where is progress already being experienced and how?
FISHBOWL
In the goal-oriented discussion about shaping progress in the industry, the exchange of ideas should not be missing. In the fishbowl round, the transition between audience and panelists is fluid, as we change participants several times. This creates a truly interactive exchange of opinions.
START-UP MASTERMIND SESSION
Mentors and exhibiting start-ups from the Builders Tech Club's network of experts will speak about the success factors required to scale start-ups, such as fundraising, personnel acquisition and training, sales & marketing, leadership, branding, pitch design, patents & IP, etc.
INNOVATION SHOWCASE
In this segment, selected exhibitors present their latest products and technologies live on stage. Attendees will get an exclusive insight into the development of innovative solutions that can revolutionize the industry. The presentations offer a unique opportunity to learn directly from the developers and understand how these innovations can be implemented in practice. After the presentations, a Q&A session will be available to gain deeper insights and engage directly with the innovators.
Don't miss this opportunity to be part of the change.
