The HEUKING Venture Capital Day & Night brings together founders, investors, and key players from the startup ecosystem for an afternoon of pitches, networking, and exchange.
On September 9, 2026, more than 300 founders and investors are expected to gather at the Rheinterrasse Düsseldorf to connect, discover new ventures, and explore investment opportunities.
The event’s highlight is the startup pitch session, featuring selected ventures that are currently raising capital. In addition, numerous startups and accelerator programs will showcase themselves with their own exhibition booths, offering participants the opportunity to discover innovative business models and engage directly with emerging companies.
Following the afternoon program, a networking dinner will provide further opportunities for in-depth conversations and valuable connections. Registration for the dinner is available separately.
Startups interested in applying for a pitch slot or an exhibitor booth can submit their application via email to p.mueller@heuking.de.
