Highlights

MEXI

Every year, the Mannheim Startup Award (MEXI) honors Mannheim’s most courageous and innovative founders and puts the spotlight on the people and ideas that drive our city forward

Long Night of Innovation and Culture

At the Long Night of Innovation & Culture, you’ll experience how new ideas, creative perspectives, and Mannheim’s diverse cultural scene come together. Here, incubators open their doors alongside museums, startups alongside theaters, and labs alongside live music.

Future Founders Festival

At the Future Founders Festival, you can experience entrepreneurship LIVE—just as it should be: exciting, open, and connecting. Hear real startup stories in the Founder Stories sessions, attend panel discussions with experts from the startup ecosystem, engage in face-to-face conversations during table talks, or try your hand at creative workshops.
