Networking event for investors, industry & entrepreneurs
For the first time this year, a new networking event will take place during embedded world. "investors-forum@embedded-world: VC meets Industry" is a joint project of NürnbergMesse in cooperation with BayStartUp. With this new format, we are building a bridge between the active startup scene in the embedded community and decision-makers from the manufacturing and user industry, research & development and the financial world (VCs).
Whether you're an innovation manager looking to explore new technologies or a (strategic) investor looking for potential investments - we have something for you.
Our programme:
- Keynotes from corporates, startups & VCs: How does the C-level of semiconductor companies react to current megatrends? What do startup founders think about development cooperations and strategic investments? How does a venture capitalist find promising technology companies?
- Panel discussion: Take the opportunity to ask your questions in the subsequent discussion and get to know the perspectives of corporates, start-ups and investors.
- Exchange of experience and networking: Exchange ideas in a confidential atmosphere with managing directors, innovation managers, investors and founders on the future topics of your company.
- Startup pitches & exhibition: During the pitches and in the accompanying exhibition, you will get to know a large selection of fast-growing startups that solve important problems and open up new markets with embedded technologies. After the pitches, there will be the opportunity to hold one-on-one meetings.
