Leipzig will be the Center for Europe's Business Angels in 2027!

Leipzig, Deutschland - Leipzig is preparing for an important international event: The 27th EBAN Congress will take place in the city from June 21 to 23, 2027. It is expected with over 500 participants, including investors, companies, founders and political representatives from all over Europe. The focus of the event is on the exchange of ideas, dealflow and networking among the participants, which is of great importance for both the city and the regional start-up scene.

The decision to hold the congress in Leipzig was made during the Eban Congress in Copenhagen. Leipzig was able to prevail against numerous competitors, including well -known cities such as Paris, Valencia and the Hague. This success underlines Leipzig's growing importance as a location for innovative events and start-ups.

a strong organizational network

The congress is made by Futuresax in close cooperation with BAM! Business Angels Mitteldeutschland e.V. and Business Angels Germany (Band) e.V. organized. In addition, the event is supported by the Saxon State Ministry of Economics, Labor, Energy and Climate Protection. Saxony announced in this way to continue to promote an active environment for investments in early -phase companies.

The European Business Angels Network (EBAN) plays a central role in the organization. As a Pan-European representation of the early phase investor community, EBAN has over 100 member organizations in more than 50 countries and represents over 10,000 business angels from all over the region. Eban.org describes as a non-profit association that creates important networking opportunities for its members and promotes the exchange of knowledge.

regional and European importance

Sachsen's Minister of Economics Dirk Panter emphasizes the importance of the congress for Leipzig and sees the event as an opportunity to make the Saxon innovation ecosystem better known throughout Europe. Susanne Stump from Futuresax adds that regional start-ups will have the opportunity to present their ideas and make valuable contacts. Isabel Antholz from Business Angels Mitteldeutschland e.V. and Katja Ruhnke from Band emphasize both the importance of Angel Investing for the success of young companies in Europe.

The decision for Leipzig as the venue is also a sign of the positive developments in the region. The EBAN Congress has not taken place in Germany for over 20 years, which illustrates the relevance and growth of the Germans and specifically of the Saxon start-up scene. Leipzig therefore has the chance to not only profile themselves as a city of the founders, but also as a key region for investments and innovation.
