about ruhrsummit

GROWN FOR GREATNESS

We are celebrating 10 years of ruhrSUMMIT! Grown for great things - but never standing still. For a decade, ruhrSUMMIT has been the event for ambitious start-ups, leading investors and visionary companies.

We have experienced a lot, grown with the scene - and yet we have reinvented ourselves every year. Because innovation needs change. That's exactly what we do: new formats, fresh impetus, even more matchmaking and deep dives into the topics that move the ecosystem.

But what does ruhrSUMMIT really mean for its community? We let those who feel the pulse of the start-up scene speak for themselves - the founders, investors and partners who make our event what it is every year.

VOICES ABOUT ruhrSUMMIT:

The ruhrSUMMIT unites the power of the start-up scene in the Ruhr. The Initiativkreis Ruhr helped to launch it in order to make the potential of our region visible and develop it further.

Energy, passion, innovation - that is the spirit of ruhrSUMMIT. Both as a former jury member for the ruhrSUMMIT Award and as a representative of the Startup Association, I see it as an event that celebrates the start-up strength of the Ruhr region and at the same time sets new impulses throughout Germany.
