After a successful debut last year, the Startup Contacts this year entered its second round—and exceeded all our expectations.
On June 16, 2024, the area in front of the castle in Münster once again became the hub for the startup community.
We welcomed over 600 visitors and 50 startups at this year’s fair. Whether you’re a student, a founder, or just curious about the world of startups, there was something for everyone. In addition to the many startup booths, our speakers offered inspiring talks, workshops, and panel discussions to give attendees exciting insights into the latest trends in the startup scene. This year also again provided aspiring founders the chance to find a co‑founder through our Co‑Founder Matching.
Drinks from liba, yfood, Innocent & RedBull. Much of it was only made possible thanks to the financial support of Sparkasse Münsterland Ost, BASF and NRW.Bank was made possible.
Our goal of creating a platform for innovative exchange was definitely achieved with Startup Contacts this year—and it wouldn’t have been possible without the support of our sponsors, startups, and attendees.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who made this day a great success!
