Exclusive Berlin Partner Boat Cruise – Why you should start your business in Berlin
Thursday, 22 May 2025
4:30-7:30 pm
We would like to take you on board with us – literally and metaphorically spoken.
Take this unique opportunity and let us show you Berlin in all its facets, while shipping down the river Spree past the government district, the museum quarter and famous nightlife locations.
Learn from experts what Berlin has to offer as a business location and how they can support you: local funding opportunities, visa support, office search, and more. Testimonials will share their personal stories of starting-off their business in Berlin. A light buffet and drinks will be provided.
If you are a startup or scaleup from around the world, looking to take the leap into Europe’s most exciting startup hub, creative metropolis, and birthplace of digital innovation – claim one of the few spots by May 16th and come aboard with us:
Important information:
- This is an exclusive event with very limited space. All applications to participate will be first reviewed and then confirmed or declined.
- We will offer a transfer service via bus from GITEX Europe (Messe Berlin) to the pier, departing at 4:30 pm – we will share details on the exact meeting point closer to the event date. The boat leaves on the dot, so don’t be late – we won’t be able to wait.
We’re looking forward to exploring Berlin’s waterfront with you.
Cast off and full steam ahead!
