Entrepreneurship Summit 2026

Shape the Future Yourself – with Mind, Heart, and Vision

📅 October 17–18, 2026 at the Henry Ford Building in Berlin

 

Entrepreneurship for everyone. Be an Entrepreneur!

The event will primarily be held in German, with one continuous English-language track available on both days.

The economy is what we make of it.

The Summit is your space to boldly rethink the future, bring ideas to life, and shape together what truly matters tomorrow.

Whether you are just getting started or already deep into your journey — the Entrepreneurship Summit connects you with people who think about business differently. More radically. More sustainably. More independently.

There is no better alternative.

 

On October 17–18, 2026, we are excited to welcome speakers such as:

Dr. Jeannette zu Fürstenberg (invited), Managing Director at General Catalyst, will offer insights into Europe’s role in the global tech ecosystem — at the intersection of capital, culture, and AI.

Christian Kroll, founder of Ecosia, demonstrates how sustainable technology and entrepreneurship can actively contribute to climate protection.

Susi Erdmann, one of Germany’s most successful winter sports athletes, speaks about staying capable under extreme pressure and what elite sports can teach us about mental strength and transformation.

Prof. Michael Braungart, co-founder of the Cradle-to-Cradle concept, shows how innovative design can enable a truly circular economy.

Felix Ahlers, CEO of FRoSTA, demonstrates how transparency and sustainability can be successfully implemented in the food industry.

Tina Dreimann, entrepreneur, investor, and a committed voice for innovation, female entrepreneurship, and social change in the startup scene.

Plus: 100+ speakers, founders, and changemakers!

 

A personal message from Prof. Günter Faltin, initiator and founder of the Entrepreneurship Foundation:

“Yes, we have the opportunity to shape a better world — more caring and more sensitive than ever before. But we must set it in motion ourselves, step into the ring ourselves, take action ourselves. Let us become active. As confident entrepreneurs, acting modestly yet sustainably. More restrained in our consumption of resources. More ambitious when it comes to living a fulfilled life.”
