About this event
Germany's most active seed fund convenes its annual portfolio day at STATION Berlin — and it's the closest thing the German tech ecosystem has to a state-of-the-nation moment. Up to 1,300 attendees from HTGF portfolio startups, follow-on investors, corporates and ecosystem partners gather across two days: a Monday evening kick-off and a full Tuesday programme. Expect 4,000+ 1:1 meetings, panels with senior decision-makers from politics, business and VC, and pitches from HTGF's portfolio. The 2026 theme — 'New Wirtschaftswunder' — sets the tone: this is where capital, corporates and deep tech founders meet to argue about (and build) the next chapter of the German innovation economy. Invite-only; non-invitees can apply via the website.
