Ready to propel your venture onto the international stage? Welcome to a premier edition of the Thursday Gathering, engineered specifically to forge powerful new connections between two of Europe’s most robust, neighboring innovation landscapes.
This week, Warsaw transforms into the epicenter of Polish-German technological synergy. We are thrilled to host an official delegation of Germany's leading innovation hubs from the elite de:hub network
Meet Them Live & In Person: This isn't just another webinar or virtual meetup. The leadership and acceleration teams from these powerhouse German hubs will be physically present on-site at Venture Café Warsaw, ready to connect with you face-to-face.
Germany's top ecosystem architects are converging on Warsaw with a single, clear objective: to forge high-impact partnerships with the Polish market. Whether you are a startup seeking international scaling and cross-border capital, a VC investor looking for co-investment deal flow, or an ecosystem builder targeting strong regional alliances—this event is your ultimate physical launchpad.
And yes... there will be cold German beer and fresh pretzels! For one night only, the Thursday Gathering is transforming into an authentic Stammtisch - which is essentially the time-honored German tradition of a friendly, informal get-together where people meet to share a drink, speak their minds, and build lasting bonds. No rigid corporate stuff here, just great beer, fantastic company, and open doors to the DACH market!
You will have the opportunity to meet with representatives from:
Digital Hub Logistics & Commerce Hamburg
Digital Hub Mobility München (UnternehmerTUM)
Digital Innovation Hub Photonics / Fraunhofer IOF
Skip the transactional networking. Each visiting German de:hub will host a dedicated exhibition booth. Throughout the evening, founders, investors, and corporate leaders can walk straight up, initiate direct conversations, pitch projects, and unlock direct soft-landing opportunities into the German market.
Top-tier accelerator and hub leaders from both sides of the border will dive into a practical session mapping out the ultimate blueprint for cross-border cooperation.
Instead of generic networking talk, we are pinpointing exactly what German corporates and Polish innovators explicitly need from one another to scale faster together. We will break down the specific sectors ripe for immediate collaboration—including DeepTech, GreenTech and Mobility - and show founders how to leverage these hubs to gain immediate access to German corporate clients, pilot projects, and strategic funding.
Are you a founder intensely focusing on entering Germany and scaling across the DACH region? This is your ultimate chance to take that next big leap. We are selecting exactly 10 ambitious startups to step onto the stage at this special Thursday Gathering.
This isn't a combat zone—it’s a launchpad. You will have the unique opportunity to pitch your venture live in front of a high-profile jury composed of elite German delegation leaders, top-tier investors, and the massive, collaborative Venture Café audience. If you want to put your solution directly on the radar of Germany’s most powerful innovation network and gain immediate validation for your international expansion, this is where it starts.
Among the prizes, you can win:
-
SpinLab Academy Access: Exclusive, premium entry to advanced business acceleration and technical scaling courses.
-
Leipzig Soft-Landing Package: 3 days of complimentary workspace access at SpinLab's state-of-the-art tech campus in Leipzig, Germany.
-
Investor’s VIP Breakfast Ticket: An invitation to the closed-door Investor Breakfast on Friday morning (September 18th) in Warsaw to meet face-to-face with Polish and German VCs and Business Angels
