UNLEASH x KnowledgeMove on 9th September in Hannover
On 9 September 2026, the UNLEASH Startup Convention and KnowledgeMove will come together for the first time at the ASTOR Grand Cinema in Hannover. The joint event brings start-ups, researchers, established companies and other players from the innovation ecosystem together in one place.
Across eight stages, the programme will focus on a range of future-oriented topics, including AI & DeepTech, Health Innovation, Circular Economy, as well as Funding & Investment. The stage programme will be complemented by interactive masterclasses, start-up pitches, networking opportunities and a dedicated Gaming Stage. HTI BioIntelligence will also be part of this year’s event.
Masterclass with Ulrike Munz and Felina Kallbach
From 3:10 to 3:40 p.m., Ulrike Munz and Felina Kallbach will jointly host a masterclass. They will bring insights from their work with science-based start-ups and their experience supporting founding teams as they develop their business and market strategies.
Five Start-ups from Batch #2 on the Exhibition Floor
Five start-ups from our current Batch #2 will also be represented at the event: NanoDrug Delivery GmbH, ELPIS Simulation GmbH, Plandelicious, GliTTher and Daklintec GmbH.
The event therefore offers not only space for new ideas and discussions, but also the opportunity to meet several of the teams from our programme in person and learn more about their technologies and approaches. We are looking forward to being part of UNLEASH x KnowledgeMove and to connecting with founders, researchers, companies and the wider innovation ecosystem in Hannover on 9 September.
