Harbour Founder Summit 2025 by START Hamburg

​The Harbour Founder Summit is the flagship event of START Hamburg, bringing together founders, investors, and innovators from all over the world this November. As part of the Global Entrepreneurship Week, Hamburg will transform into a hotspot for visionaries shaping the future.

​At the heart of the summit are two major international pitching competitions:

​🚀 Road to START Summit – The qualifying round for the legendary START Summit in St. Gallen. The winning start-up not only secures a ticket to the summit but also the chance to compete on the big stage for prize money of up to 500,000 CHF.

​🌍 Startup World Cup – The Hamburg qualifier for the global finale in Silicon Valley. The winner will advance to San Francisco to compete for an incredible 1 million USD prize.

​The Harbour Founder Summit is the perfect stage for founders who think big, want to scale internationally, and are ready to expand their networks.

​Join us this November when Hamburg becomes the epicenter of the global start-up scene!
