Next.Gen Summit for Good

The Next.Gen Summit for Good is a free one-day event for young people who want to turn an idea into a startup. The program offers practical insights into all key areas of startup development — from ideation and positioning to financing, impact measurement, business models, marketing, sales, and pitching.

Participants can put together their own individual program from workshops and personal one-on-one sessions with experts. The Summit creates space for exchange, networking, and learning, and provides inspiration, potential co-founders, helpful tools, and honest feedback for the next steps on the path toward building a startup. The event is aimed at both people who are still in the idea phase and those who have already gained initial startup experience.
