Thank you for making our 2025 edition truly unforgettable! With more than 1,000 visitors, nearly 100 speakers, and countless inspiring conversations, you’ve once again shown how much passion and energy fuel this startup ecosystem.
STARTUPLAND has become more than a conference. It’s a place where founders open up, ideas turn into opportunities, and people who believe in the future come together.
Organized by the team behind Deutsche Startups, STARTUPLAND brings startups, VCs, and corporates into one space — creating visibility, meaningful connections, and long-lasting opportunities.
In 2026, we return to the RheinEnergieSTADION in Cologne for our third edition. The startup world moves fast, but STARTUPLAND is here to bring clarity, foster collaboration, and spark the energy that turns ambition into real impact.
We can’t wait to see you there!
