The kickoff of Startup Week Aachen highlights the concentrated power of #StartupCityAachen. At the same time, digitalHUB is celebrating a special milestone: 9 years of digitalHUB Aachen at digitalCHURCH.
The opening brings together the Aachen and Euregio startup scene: founders, universities, investors, and those interested in starting a business share formative stories and bold decisions.
Prof. Dr. Malte Brettel will kick off this week’s theme with a keynote address on the future of the startup scene in Aachen. Following that, nine startups from nine years of digitalHUB will share a pivotal moment that made all the difference for their startup. Among them are AISLER, bobbie, amber, anny, Voltfang, bluvero, Kowalytics and Claracare.
The stage program will conclude with the presentation of the Startup Spirit Aachen Award to an individual who has shown exceptional dedication to Aachen’s startup scene.
After an entertaining stage program, there will be an opportunity to toast nine years of digitalHUB Aachen. Over cocktails and a barbecue in the courtyard, there will be time for casual conversation, new connections, and encounters. Interactive moments will round out the evening and set the stage for an inspiring week.
