ECO19 Berlin Agenda
Ecosummit accelerates smart green startups in energy, mobility and cities to save our climate and planet. Our conferences are startup markets enabling business development, co-investing, open innovation, corporate venturing and M&A. Since 2010 we organised 20 events in 5 countries. We celebrated our 10 year anniversary Ecosummit Berlin 15-16 May 2019 at Radialsystem, Holzmarktstr. 33, 10243 Berlin, the best conference location in the world. The ECO19 Berlin agenda presents 125 speakers including 80 startups. All ECO19 Berlin videos are online on Ecosummit TV and also linked in the agenda next to each speaker. Check out our 390 participants and 33 sponsors. We invite you to co-invest and work together to build big startups with big impact – ideally smart green unicorns made in Europe.
