Event of Intent – First Edition: Turning Conversations into Commitments Most networking events end with: Let’s stay in touch! Event of Intent ends with signatures. The Event of Intent is a new format that brings together startups, scaleups and established companies with one shared purpose: to transform challenges into opportunities and create potential matches for meaningful collaboration.

What is the Event of Intent?

Most networking events end with: Let’s stay in touch! Event of Intent ends with signatures.

The Event of Intent is a new format that brings together startups, scaleups and established companies with one shared purpose: to transform challenges into opportunities and create potential matches for meaningful collaboration.

In an evening of short pitches, challenge presentations, and speed dating sessions, participants get the chance to find their match – and make it official on the spot with a Letter of Intent or a formal partnership agreement.

No endless follow-ups. No „let’s stay in touch.“ Just real commitments, signed on the night!

What to expect?

Startup & Scaleup Pitches: Present your team, experience and skill set in 2-3 minutes.

Corporate Challenges: Established companies present real business needs, operational challenges, and partnership opportunities.

Speed Matching: Fast, high-intent meetings designed to identify strategic fit within minutes.

Commitments: When alignment happens, move directly into formal next steps with a Letter of Intent.

The evening also includes networking opportunities and premium catering.

Who should attend?

Startups & scaleups looking for corporate partners or pilot customers. SMEs and corporates with concrete innovation challenges, looking for potential execution partners. Investors and ecosystem enablers.
