Once a month, you can exchange ideas with like-minded people at our regulars' table, have your questions answered by experts or simply get an insight into the start-up scene. Come by, drinks are on us!

Entrepreneurship regulars' table

You want to meet like-minded people, brainstorm ideas for the future together or exchange information about start-ups, innovations or ideas? At our Gründungsstammtisch you can network with other start-up enthusiasts. In addition to free drinks, there are alternating guests or topic inputs.

The regulars' table takes place every 2nd Wednesday of the month from 5 to 7 p.m. in the DIGITALHUB.de at Bonn Central Station and is a joint offer of the Start-up-Manufaktur, the University of Bonn and the DIGITALHUB.de.

Recurring events

Many of our events take place on a regular basis. Find out more about our recurring dates here.

Start-up live – founding stories

At "Start-up live" you get authentic insights into the world of start-ups. Founders talk openly and honestly about their experiences and tell their very personal start-up stories.

And because every start-up is individual, every "Start-up live" is different. Stay tuned to see which founders will be sharing their stories and answering your questions in the future.

Have you founded a company yourself and would like to share your story? Then get in touch with us and become a guest at "Start-up live".

Starke Start-up Partner

The start-up scene is all about networking: We share know-how, ideas and stories and benefit from the experience and knowledge of others. Start-up-Manufaktur can count many successful players from the regional start-up ecosystem among its partners.

In our event series "Strong Start-up Partners", many of them introduce themselves on our virtual stage to present their programmes or offers, answer questions and share their knowledge.
