Around 55 start-ups and scale-ups from all over Germany and the world presented their groundbreaking technologies on the pitch stage and in the innovation arena. There were also VC matchings, know-how impulses, pitch awards, and numerous networking opportunities with regional, national, and international stakeholders in the innovation ecosystem, start-ups, scale-ups, investors, SMEs, and the industry.
The partner country of #IDT24 was Japan. A total of nine Japanese start-ups presented in the Innovation Arena, one of them also on the Pitch Stage on the first day of the event.
