Boost Your Dealflow
Under the motto “Boost Your Dealflow”, the Investor Days Thuringia took place on June 15 and 16. This high-profile event, 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 collaborations. This year, the digital format again attracted great international interest, with 67 applications from 10 countries. 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 as well as 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 attended the Investor Days. The event, moderated by Christiane Kilian (STIFT), Katja Butzmann (bm|t) and Stephan Beier (bm|t), was broadcast via livestream from Erfurt’s multifunctional arena this year.
