Mainz Startup Week Celebrates 10 Years of Innovation in 2025

Mainz Startup Week will mark its tenth anniversary in November 2025. The event has become a key part of the local entrepreneurial scene since it first launched in 2016. This year’s programme runs from 17 to 23 November and celebrates a decade of innovation and enterprise. The week begins with an official opening party at The Pier on Am Brand in central Mainz. A 'Living Room Conversation' will take place during the event, bringing together long-standing supporters of the city’s startup community. The discussion will look back on the past ten years of Mainz’s entrepreneurial growth.

Over the course of the week, 38 events will cover every aspect of starting and growing a business. Workshops, one-on-one consulting, pitch competitions, and networking evenings are all on the schedule. Topics range from developing initial ideas to refining strategies for expansion.

Admission to all sessions is free, but attendees must register in advance through the Startup Week website. The tenth edition carries the motto '10 Years of Ideas, Courage, and Entrepreneurial Spirit' to highlight the journey so far. The anniversary edition offers a packed programme for founders at every stage. Events will run across seven days, providing opportunities to learn, connect, and celebrate. The week aims to support both new and experienced entrepreneurs in the region.
