The lack of funding in Germany makes life difficult for innovators. There is a lack of capital, investors, partnerships and networks. We ask: How can we build an ecosystem for innovation in Agtech in Germany? Who and what is necessary for this?

In a participative workshop, we want to use fishbowl discussion and dynamic facilitation techniques to develop the necessary foundations and, together with our participants, derive a starting paper for a subsequent workshop. The format leaves no room for PR and extensive contributions by a small number of people. It takes place in two chair circles, with the outer circle listening and the inner circle discussing. One chair always remains free. After the introduction to the format, our partners from the areas of startup, banks, VC and CVC, state sponsors, knowledge providers give their 2-3 minute impulses, then further discussion takes place. But the audience can take a chair at any time.

The target groups are startups, funding institutions such as banks and state funding programmes, VCs and CVs, knowledge providers and consultants, incubators and accelerators. Participants max: 40 persons
