Ecosummit Berlin 2020 Agenda
Due to the global COVID-19 crisis Ecosummit Berlin 2020 is postponed from 6-7 May 2020 to a new date in September or Q4 2020. We’ll announce the new date and location of our physical Ecosummit when the time is right. In the meantime, we’ll invite our sponsors, speakers and ticket buyers to our virtual Ecosummit events. Please stay healthy, watch Ecosummit TV and check our website regularly.
Our mission is maximising our impact until 2030, the global deadline for carbon neutrality. 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.
Ecosummit Berlin 2020 is supported by 39 sponsors. The ECO20 Berlin agenda presents 97 speakers including 70 startups most of which raise their Series A, B, C or prepare an exit. We have open speaker slots for 2 sponsors and 6 startups with traction. Please contact us to book your pitch or sponsorship and get your tickets to join us. Let’s co-invest and work together to build big startups with big impact – smart green unicorns made in Europe.
