Ecosummit Berlin 2021 Agenda
We published all 83 videos recorded at Ecosummit Berlin 8-9 September 2021 on our Youtube channel Ecosummit TV and linked them next to each speaker in the agenda below.
Ecosummit Berlin 8-9 September 2021 is an invitation-only 2-day conference for a limited number of in-person participants with 1 indoor stage and 2 outdoor terraces optimised for outdoor networking – exactly what we missed the most during the pandemic. We provide a unique mix of 5-min pitches, personal meetings, healthy veggie food, Italian wine tasting (Terlan, Ca’ del Bosco and Dante Rivetti), groovy music, high-quality videos, cool photos and big fun. Our 2 bars with coffee and soft drinks operate throughout the day, wine and beer will be served when the time is right.
Our new conference location is Spindler & Klatt, Köpenicker Strasse 16-17, 10997 Berlin, next to the river Spree, just a 10-min walk from U-Bahn station Schlesisches Tor. The entrance is via Köpenicker Strasse 16, then go straight to the water and enter on your left.
The final agenda features 83 speakers including 52 startups. We’re super grateful for the support of our 38 sponsors. Check out our 183 participants, get your tickets and start arranging your meetings at Ecosummit Berlin.
There is no official pre-event on 7 September and we offer dinner and drinks on both evenings of 8 and 9 September to all participants. Our indoor stage is designed for an audience of up to 100 participants and all pitches are broadcast from the indoor stage to big screens on the outdoor terraces. We don’t believe in hybrid events and won’t provide any live streaming or parallel zooming as our in-person participants want to focus on things happening in Berlin. As in the past, we’ll start publishing the ECO21 Berlin videos 2 weeks after the conference on our YouTube channel Ecosummit TV.
Private tickets are available for €2.000 + VAT for investors and €1.000 + VAT for startups and may be ordered by email. If you like the deal, please send us an email to request your invitation to Ecosummit Berlin 8-9 September 2021 telling us who you are and why you want to join us. We look forward to hosting you and accelerating smart green startups together. It’s going to be magic.
Each in-person participant is required to prove full vaccination (both doses), recovery or a negative COVID-19 test to access our conference location and registration. Thanks a lot for your support and cooperation – we can’t wait to meet you again at Ecosummit Berlin.
Please note: We hand out a printed version of the Ecosummit Berlin 2021 agenda to all participants at our registration.
