10 Years of Startup Autobahn

This panel takes the audience back to the origins of STARTUP AUTOBAHN – the vision, the partnerships, and the bold decisions that turned a local initiative into one of the world’s leading open innovation platforms. But the session does not stop at the look back: it deliberately turns forward to explore what’s next. STARTUP AUTOBAHN was never created to host events or simply connect startups and corporates. The mission was to accelerate technology transfer by bringing startups, industry, research, talent, and infrastructure together in one ecosystem – and that mission is the throughline that connects the first ten years to the next ten.
