foundersXchange in December: the start-up scene gathers at HUB31

Anyone setting up a business needs dialogue, honest feedback and the right contacts. That’s exactly what foundersXchange is for: from 5 pm, founders, start-up teams, researchers and investors will come together in the HUB31 lounge.

The event kicks off with a keynote talk drawing on real-world experience, followed by a start-up team sharing insights into their day-to-day experiences as founders. The topic and speakers will be announced shortly. In the open-mic session that follows, everyone present can present their own ideas, ask questions or describe current challenges and receive direct feedback from the community. Anyone wishing to use the microphone should register in advance by emailing yubizz@h-da.de.

The foundersXchange is organised jointly by HIGHEST (TU Darmstadt), the ATHENE DIGITAL HUB CYBERSECURITY, hessian.AI, cesah, HUB31 and Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. Refreshments will be provided by StartHUB Hessen.
