STARTUPLAND 2026 is officially a wrap — and what an incredible experience it was.
With over 1,200 attendees, more than 100 speakers, and countless inspiring conversations, new connections, and real opportunities, this year’s edition once again showed the energy and ambition driving the startup ecosystem.
STARTUPLAND has become much more than just a conference. It’s a place where founders open up, ideas turn into opportunities, and people who believe in the future come together.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and made this event possible.
And the best part: We’re coming back.
STARTUPLAND returns in 2027 for its fourth edition — see you there!
– Alex & Stefan
