Startup Week Düsseldorf plays a key part in the growing startup ecosystem in Düsseldorf. A wonderful anniversary was celebrated from 8 to 12 September 2025: for the 10th time, visionary founders, innovative minds and up-and-coming companies came together to shape the future. The official highlight was the Future Tech Fest, Germany's leading B2B start-up trade fair and conference. More than 5,000 people – ranging from industry leaders to lesser-known figures in the startup scene – gathered to share knowledge and conduct business. Among them were numerous startups from abroad, highlighting Düsseldorf's appeal as an international location. These three “fresh ideas” exemplify the diversity of the local start-up ecosystem: Make way for Aitonomi, promptmeplease.ai and DNTOX!
