Are you looking for business partners, young talents or investors? The digital platform of ruhrSUMMIT gives you many opportunities to get in touch with the right people to realise your intentions. Great people and inspiring discussions are waiting for you - be open minded!

Expo

At the virtual EXPO, B2B start-ups and companies from all industries will exchange ideas and establish contacts. New synergies, customer relationships and investment opportunities are created here.

Match making area

Speed Matches

In short 3-minute 1:1 meetings, start-ups are connected in rotation with investors or other potential business partners. Let yourself be surprised who you get to know!

Fuck Up Night

Successful entrepreneurs talk about their biggest fuck-ups on the long road to success in exciting, crisp presentations. There will be a Q&A session after each speaker. The aim is to cultivate the fear of failure in the course of starting a business.
