#INNODAY24

At #INNODAY24 on September 26, 2024, in Darmstadt, entrepreneurial spirit and innovation meet business, science, and politics. With over 100 exhibitors, inspiring keynotes, a live podcast on “Female Entrepreneurship,” founder speed dating, and the start-up pitch corner, the event offers a diverse program with numerous networking formats. Workshops on financing, IP/patents, and innovation readiness levels round out the program.

A highlight is the participation of the Unite! University Alliance for Innovation, Technology, and Engineering, which will be holding its dialogue in Darmstadt at the same time. Start-ups and innovation projects from European universities will present their ideas at #INNODAY24.
