Innovators Homecoming 2025: New Event Format for Start-Ups and Innovation at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar
The event focusses on the personal experiences and perspectives of alumni who understand innovation as not just a technological process, but also a cultural and social one. In addition to TED-style keynote speeches from outstanding alumni, there will also be opportunities for discussion and networking.
Guests can look forward to contributions from:
Paul Foeckler, co-founder of Mendeley and Blueberg AI
Gesa Hansen, designer and founder of The Hansen Family
Jens Wille, Managing Director of Ubilabs
Dr. Nathalie Jean-Baptiste, CEO of the Julius Baer Foundation
With the Innovators Homecoming, the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar is showcasing how innovative start-up projects can develop from ideas that emerge during or after studies and how the impact of these projects reaches far beyond campus.
