Thursday Gathering is the flagship weekly event of Venture Café, bringing together around 150–250 people from across the innovation ecosystem every week. It’s an open, welcoming space where founders, investors, creatives, corporates, and curious minds come together to connect, exchange ideas, and explore opportunities.
If you're thinking of joining us after ILA Berlin, there will be a bus transfer at 4 pm from parking area 2 in front of the ILA West Entrance to Venture Café (see the map here). All you need to do is register for the event and let us know that you will be using it.
In the Demo Table zone you will discover various products, technologies and projects being presented by the founders or startup-representatives.
In the Info Table zone you will find out about projects, organisations and ideas.
Want to present your organisation? Send us an application!
However remember, this is NO HARD SALES zone.
Unwind, connect, and vibe to the rhythm! This lively session blends casual networking with great music, offering the perfect atmosphere to meet fellow innovators, exchange ideas, and forge new collaborations. Grab a drink, enjoy the beats, and build meaningful connections in a relaxed, energetic setting.
How do bold space ambitions become scalable businesses? This breakout session explores the evolving economics of the NewSpace and aerospace industries — from emerging technologies and commercial innovation to investment opportunities and global collaboration. Join founders, industry experts, and innovators as we discuss how the sector is creating real-world value, driving economic growth, and shaping the future of mobility, connectivity, sustainability, and exploration beyond Earth.
How can research move beyond the lab and create real-world impact? This breakout session explores the journey from academic innovation to commercial success, highlighting the challenges, opportunities, and collaborations that help transform scientific discoveries into scalable products, startups, and market-ready solutions. Join researchers, entrepreneurs, and ecosystem leaders to discuss how knowledge transfer fuels innovation and economic growth.
Discover the next generation of Aerospace and NewSpace innovators as startups and visionary founders present breakthrough technologies, scalable business models, and bold ideas shaping the future beyond Earth. From satellite solutions and space mobility to AI, sustainability, and advanced materials, this pitch session highlights ventures transforming space innovation into real-world impact and economic opportunity.
