There, inspiring keynotes and exciting panel discussions provided various insights into current developments in entrepreneurship, innovation, and deep tech. The outdoor area with food trucks invited informal networking between program items.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The smaller tent opposite hosted masterclasses and a pitching stage. Here, promising startups presented their innovative ideas \u2013 including the KIT startup Liftwise, which impressed with its pitch.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>At the joint booth of the <a href=\"\/nxtgn-startup-factories\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NXTGN Startup Factory<\/a>, we had numerous good discussions with players from the Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg startup ecosystem and with our partners. The personal exchange with colleagues from other NXTGN locations was particularly valuable\u2014for us, it was the perfect opportunity to get to know each other better. In addition to Daniela and Sandra, our team members Rick for the Deep Tech Hub and Sarah for the topic of female foundership were also on site.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Conclusion: A good atmosphere, good conversations, and a strong sense of community\u2014despite the wind and weather, Slush Heilbronn was one of the networking highlights of the fall, especially for the newly launched Startup
