Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
we would like to cordially invite you to our RWTH Innovation | Industry Meetup event on July 1, 2025.
The Industry Meetup aims to connect our industry partners, enable exchange on current challenges and steer new topics in the university environment.
We are excited to welcome you to our brand-new Collective Incubator - the buzzing hub for students and start-ups - to spark ideas, share stories, and dive into the world of Deep Tech Innovation.
Please confirm your attendance by May 20, 2025.
As in previous years, the meetup will take place during the STARTUP WEEK AC, giving you the opportunity to also join us at the chiotec (formerly ATEC - Aachen Technology Entrepreneurship Conference). Chiotec 2025 highlights the intersection of technology and sports, offering networking opportunities for start-ups, investors, and professionals.
