The focus of the evening was on two panel discussions that highlighted different facets of entrepreneurial activity. The first session centred on the transfer between academia and industry, featuring fascinating insights from politics, practice and research, as well as an open exchange on current challenges and prospects.

The second discussion focused on the topic of business succession and entrepreneurship through acquisition. Here, it became clear what opportunities exist beyond traditional start-ups, particularly through the personal experiences and practical insights of the panellists.

There were also ample opportunities for networking. In a relaxed atmosphere and with delicious catering, participants were able to exchange ideas, make new contacts and strengthen existing connections.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all contributors, panellists and participants for this successful evening and look forward to the next steps together!
