We start the 6th round
On April 15th, 2021 at 3 pm (CET) - the 2nd time completely digital
At our kick-off event, we and our briefing and network partners will present the planned programme as well as the new briefing topics that can be worked on together in the following months.
All innovative makers – from students to hobbyists, researchers and freelance developers to start-ups and SMEs – are cordially invited to take part in our multi-month "Industry meets Makers playground" to tackle exciting challenges in the field of emerging future technologies, to get to know each other better in the process and to present the cooperatively generated results at the end at the Best of Industry meets Makers closing event on October 18th at the Digital Days.
The event is open to all participants, including those interested in the topic who would simply like to drop by for a chat and a taster session. The introduction and industry pitches will be held in German and English and, in the case of a German language version, translated into English by a synchronous interpreter. The networking and brainstorming in the breakout session rooms afterwards will be solved as needed.
Do you want to be part of it? Then register for it right now! We will keep you informed about all new topics and programme updates and send you the Zoom meeting link to participate in the event shortly before the start.
