Meet innovative B2B startups and discover practical solutions to the challenges faced by small and medium-sized businesses.

Overview

Startup Innovations for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses.

Rising energy costs, supply chain risks, regulatory requirements, and the implementation of AI solutions are increasing the pressure on small and medium-sized enterprises to find and implement technological innovations.
Startups are developing technologies that can help address these challenges.
The B2B Demo Day brings both sides together. On November 26 in Augsburg, 20 selected startups will present their solutions in short presentations and at their own exhibition booths.
The focus is on hardware-related technologies: from automation and sensor technology to AI-powered applications for production and operations.
