A one-day summit at the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg aimed at founders, investors and innovators in health and life sciences, run by DKFZ together with encourageventures. Doors open at 09:00 and the day closes at 17:00, structured as three moderated sessions built around an opening keynote by Martina Pfeifer, a founder keynote after lunch, and an investor keynote in the afternoon. The morning is given over to two pitch blocks, one for early-stage startups and a second for rising startups. Two panel discussions anchor the afternoon: one on the translation of biomedical innovations, with speakers from the National Network Office GCT Germany at BIH, BioLabs and NCT Heidelberg, and one on building high-growth, inclusive ecosystems, with speakers from PAICON, encourageventures and ESMT. The lunch break runs Meet-the-Founders tables and founder-and-investor speed dating, and after closing remarks at 16:00 the programme finishes with open networking until the 17:00 close. Welcome remarks come from Silke Uhrig-Schmidt and Marieke Essers of DKFZ, and the event is kindly supported by InnovationLab and the H3 Health Hub.

IdeaLab! is the student-run founders' conference of WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management, held at the Stadt- und Kongresshalle in Vallendar on 25–26 September 2026 under the theme 'Ignite.

Past speakers include Oliver Samwer, Verena Pausder and Raisin co-founder Tamaz Georgadze. Entry is by application rather than straight purchase, with ticket tiers running from student through investor.

The best part of a founder day is rarely the desk. It's the founder two seats over who solved last month the thing you are stuck on today. We are running a Coworking Day together with Founders Hub Berlin, where we will focus on deep work, coaching from people who have done it, and a room that shares what it knows. Founding is lonely, even with a team around you. Here, you'll get quiet time to focu

A great idea is just the beginning - a viable business model is crucial for success
Your ideal clients are already on Instagram. The question is whether they can find you, and whether they'll trust you when they do. Most early-stage startups don't have an ad budget, a marketing team, or months to burn on a channel that might not work. What they do have is a founder who knows the problem better than anyone. Organic Instagram turns that knowledge into a daily lead engine: it forces
