It is above all a reunion with the people who have shaped this development. At the start of the celebration, we talk about the beginnings of VentureVilla, personal highlights, learnings, changes in the startup world and the view ahead – from the perspective of those who were there from the beginning.



On stage: Jan Schätzel, Uwe Berger, Thorsten Ramus, Bert Bringhaus and Jonas Habel – accompanied by the question of what VentureVilla was, what it is today and what it can be in the future.



Together with Nils Melchert (Sightwise), Fabian Knospe (MTU Maintenance) and VentureVilla Mentor Henning Bitter, we talk about how real cooperation arises from networking, mentoring and initial contacts.

What are the concrete benefits of exchange between startups and medium-sized companies? What role do trust, experience and personal mediation play? And what can both sides take away from it?

The panel will be moderated by our mentor Leonie Stankewitz.
