One day. Five stages. Over 1500 people who make things happen.
On July 16, one of Germany's most relevant innovation festivals is back: and this year it will be bigger than ever. The future needs fuel.
For the third time, entrepreneurs from SMEs and start-ups will meet in the Sick Arena at Messe Freiburg for networking and inspiration. Once again this year, controversial perspectives and relevant topics will be discussed: from AI to quantum technology, from MedTech and GreenTech to robotics - supplemented by highly topical issues relating to defense and digital sovereignty.
As always, the Käpsele Innovation Festival stands for the practical relevance of its questions. Discussions will take place on panels with top-class speakers such as:
+90 speakers | +40 panels | +25 masterclasses | +20 experience stations | 4,000 m2 of networking space | 1,500 Käpsele visitors
Don't just talk, do it!
Presented by the Haufe Group and organized by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce of the Southern Upper Rhine and Freiburg Wirtschaft Touristik und Messe, the Käpsele Innovation Festival is the place for encounters, exchange, networking and friction, where start-ups meet SMEs, tradition meets thought leaders, and doers meet allies. In 2026, the Käpsele expands its view to Europe. The tri-national region of Germany, France (Alsace) and Switzerland is moving closer together.
