Join us for an unparalleled week of entrepreneurship, research, and networking at HHL Entrepreneurship Week 2026!
Whether you’re a startup coach, researcher, investor, or corporate innovator, this is your chance to connect, collaborate and accelerate your impact.
HHL Entrepreneurship Week once again brings together entrepreneurship center teams, startup coaches, and ecosystem builders from across Europe to exchange experiences, challenges, and proven approaches to building strong university-based ecosystems.
Its focus lies on knowledge transfer, peer learning, and honest discussion of what actually works in university-based venture creation, while also providing ample opportunities for meaningful networking and new collaborations across institutions and disciplines.
Travel and accommodation costs may be partially or fully covered through Erasmus+ Staff or Faculty Mobility, depending on the budget and regulations of your home institution.
Participants are kindly asked to coordinate directly with their institution’s International Office. We are happy to support with any event-related documentation if needed.
