Your organization team
Here are the three who just do it. For the past two years, they have been letting it rip with events that no one else dares to undertake. You have a lot of plans at home on the Saar. Everyone knows that better conditions are needed for startups. For us, big things happen in small ways, paths are short and quick. In order to create perspective, exchange and education are the source. This is where the concept of celebrating ideas and strengthening the network came from. So they planned a festival so that investors, society and politics would notice the startups in Saarland more clearly.
Partner
The organization takes place in productive cooperation with our partners and sponsors from Startup Verband, Triathlon, saarländische Wagnisfinanzierungsgesellschaft mbH and EastSideFab.
"The saarfari to Berlin was a real highlight and I was able to take strong inspiration into my own business."
