Founders' Dialogue

The Founding Meeting

Relax, exchange ideas and network at the Founders' Dialogue, the startup meeting of the universities of Düsseldorf - and benefit from the knowledge transfer with other startup enthusiasts and founders.

Here, startups share their experiences with you and founders report on their challenges or present their ideas. In addition, coaches, presenters and guests from the Düsseldorf startup scene will give you insights into all the important aspects of the topic of startups in short keynote speeches. And of course: plenty of space for discussions, questions, exchange and networking.

The Founders' Dialogue is aimed at people interested in founding a company and founders from the region. The event is organized by the Center for Entrepreneurship of Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, the Gründungszeit project of Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences, Startup4MED - startup support at the University Medical Centre Düsseldorf and the Startup-Unit of the Düsseldorf Economic Development Corporation.

Time for networking

We'll be back from our summer break on September 24th with a new Founders' Dialogue! We have once again prepared an exciting keynote speech: As Product Lead at satellite, Marcel Mellor supports companies in transforming innovative ideas into successful business models. The topic of innovation and innovation management is one of his core areas.

Innovation is difficult, but it doesn't matter

Successful startups focus on the complicated problems of this world - the simple ones have already been solved. But how do you as a small team overcome the hurdles that experienced companies have long since given up on? What is your first step when you are once again faced with a mountain of technical questions and legal uncertainties? Marcel provides you with tips from everyday life at sipgate, the Düsseldorf-based telephony company that has been constantly reinventing itself for twenty years.

Join us, exchange ideas over a drink and finger food and network with other founders and people interested in starting up. As always, the Founders' Dialogue is free of charge!
