Waterkant: Northern Europes freshest Festival for #inspiration #international #collaboration #humanetech #startups #digitaltransformation #networking

An engaging mix of interactive workshops, inspiring speakers and informal exchange, takes place right at the waterside at the MFG5 area in Kiel.

The festival, now in its 4th year, is open to everyone to explore ideas that are changing the way we live and work, and check out the innovative products and technologies of the future.

#Waterkant19 takes place on the 13th & 14th of June, with international guests from Scandinavia, the Baltics and the USA speeding over the water to be part of the event. The program is mostly in English.

The focus on both days is to establish dialogue, networks, and cooperations between startups, established companies, organizations and the general public.

The subjects are diverse – New Work, Startup culture, Womens‘ Entrepreneurship, Gaming, Mobility, Education, Play, Fintech, AI, Extended Reality, Sustainability and much more.

Selected live music, local food specialities, and an exceptional entertainment program contribute towards the festival‘s unique laid-back atmosphere.
