INVESTOR DAYS THURINGIA 2021

June 15/16, 2021

Boost Your Dealflow

Under the motto “Boost Your Dealflow”, the event took place on
15. and
16. June the Investor Days Thuringia took place.
This high-pro­file event, which is orga­nized annu­ally by STIFT and bm|t, once again brought together over 500 play­ers from the startup scene, SMEs, indus­try and, of course, numer­ous national and inter­na­tional investors with the aim of gen­er­at­ing the best deal flow and facil­i­tat­ing cooperation. 

The dig­i­tal for­mat attracted great inter­na­tional inter­est again this year.
67 appli­ca­tions from 10 coun­tries were submitted.
Inno­va­tions from all over Ger­many, Aus­tria, Israel, Italy, New Zealand, Spain, South Africa, the Czech Repub­lic, Hun­gary and Uruguay were in the running.
The future tech­nolo­gies and the event as such also attracted a lot of atten­tion from financiers: 165 investors from the DACH region, the Nether­lands, Bel­gium, France, the USA, China, Bahrain and the UK took part in the Investor Days. 

The event, mod­er­ated by Chris­tiane Kil­ian (STIFT), Katja Butz­mann (bm|t) and Stephan Beier (bm|t), was broad­cast this year via livestream from Erfurt’s mul­ti­func­tional arena.

Applause for the pitch winners

The high­light of the day was the pre­sen­ta­tion of the Pitch Awards for the best start-up concepts.
In a live vot­ing ses­sion, the par­tic­i­pat­ing investors voted for the most con­vinc­ing pitch per­for­mances, which were awarded live by the hosts and State Sec­re­tary Valentina Kerst.
The audi­ence was also able to sup­port their favorites and vote online for the win­ner of the Pub­lic Award.
