Social Innovation Bar 2026

What happens when seven socially innovative projects and companies each have only 5 minutes to present their idea? Things get fast-paced, to the point – and sometimes surprising.

At the Social Innovation Bar, we bring young social projects and companies onto the stage. After each pitch, there are 5 minutes for questions and feedback from our jury.

And in the end, it’s not just about the applause: The best pitch wins the “Pitchmaster 300” – 300 euros to fund their own idea.
