The Founders' Day Cologne 2024 has once again proven why it is a fixed date in the start-up scene calendar. The organization was impeccable. It was a pleasure to have valuable discussions with founders in a relaxed atmosphere. In particular, the variety of exhibitors and the opportunity to exchange ideas directly with experts were highlights of the day.

Our personal highlight was participating in the “Brand and Market” panel, where Steffen Biller den BioCampus Cologne And that RTZ Cologne represented. The discussions were practical and offered many suggestions for your own entrepreneurial journey. The panel was well attended and provided an ideal platform for discussing the challenges of brand building.

The atmosphere at Founders' Day Cologne was consistently positive and inspiring. You could feel the energy and drive of the participants everywhere, who were enthusiastic about their projects. The relaxed yet professional atmosphere made it possible to establish new contacts and deepen existing networks. It was an environment in which you felt welcome and motivated to further your own ideas.

The food also left nothing to be desired and ensured that you could feel comfortable throughout the day. A big thank you goes out to the organizing team for Kanimoli Pavanandarajah & Petra Goebbels and many more who once again organized the event with great commitment and professionalism.

We are already looking forward to the next Founders' Day Cologneto dive back into this inspiring community. The mix of valuable contacts, exciting lectures and a pleasant atmosphere makes this day a special experience every year.
