Program 2026

Our expert jury selected 12 promising start-ups for the Investment Readiness Program from over 160 submissions. During the program, they receive personal and targeted support from our experts in order to optimally prepare them for the next step in their development. The program concludes with a carefully curated matchmaking session with suitable investors and foundations. In this way, the Impact Catalyst brings together impact-oriented start-ups and investors and helps to mobilize "for impact" capital.
