Join the Startup Incubator Berlin (SIB), the startup incubator of Hochschule für Wirtschaft und Recht Berlin (HWR Berlin), for an evening of entrepreneurship, startup pitches and hands-on UX testing during HWR Berlin's Career Week 2026.

At 17:15 the Co-Lead of the Startup Incubator Berlin, Marvin Göldner, opens the evening with an introduction to the SIB's programmes for future founders, followed by insights on entrepreneurship from Prof. Dr. Hannes Kübel. Three outstanding SIB startup teams — SIPOZA, Mini Movers Club and WorkEnabler — then give an investor-style pitch, each followed by a short interview with Marvin about their journey at the SIB.

In parallel, our monthly UX Testing runs throughout the evening: startups show their prototypes, and you get to give them direct, valuable feedback from a user perspective while asking the teams about their programmes.

Taking place at CIC Berlin as part of the Venture Café programme, the Demo Day brings together aspiring founders, students, curious visitors and the startup community. All evening, network in an inspiring crowd of participating teams, startup experts and guests, learn about HWR Berlin's entrepreneurship programmes, and discover how the SIB supports academic teams from an initial idea to a viable business — including a closer look at the SIB spaces and resources on our guided tours.
