Ultimate European Startup Event @IAA
- Where
- Marienplatz in Munich

Europe is not sleeping. Europe is building. Europe is alive.
Startups are the soul of innovation, and it's time to make that energy impossible to ignore. Join us in the very center of Munich – at iconic Marienplatz – for a celebration that’s more than just a party. It’s a statement. A movement. A rallying cry from the heart of the continent to the world: Europe's startup scene is vibrant, thriving, and unstoppable.
Expect music, lights, and the electric energy of founders, investors, makers, and dreamers from every corner of the continent. This is not just for the startup crowd – it's for everyone who believes in the power of creativity, collaboration, and bold ideas.
🔥 The more of us there are, the louder our message:
Europe builds. Europe leads. Europe dares.
So come. Bring your team. Bring your friends. Bring your vision.
Let’s send a signal so strong, the whole world hears it.
Let’s show them what the European startup spirit looks like.
