START UPeritivo by hei_INNOVATION
“Chatting, laughing, having a drink and enjoying the presence of friends and nice people” – that is not only a definition of the Italian aperitivo time, but, from now on, also of our hei_INNOVATION Stammtisch: the START UPeritivo by hei_INNOVATION.
Inspired by that social moment after work, our UPeritivos are a possibility space for students, (post)docs, future entrepreneurs, startups, scientists, investors, industry partners and everyone who is interested in the topics entrepreneurship, knowledge transfer and innovation. Meet us at our Stammtisch format and get inspired.
What is it all about?
Our goal is to offer participants of our events a platform for networking, to give interested academics the opportunity to inspire each other and to bring together students and all those interested in the topics of innovation, entrepreneurship, knowledge transfer or startups. Each START UPeritivo takes place at a different location in Heidelberg and has a different motto. We invite speakers, organize workshops or give the microphone to you for a pitch or two. Come by any time and have a relaxed after-work evening after your day in the lecture hall, lab, office or elsewhere.

START UPeritivo in July
- START UPeritivo: Mix it yourself - Protoyping, Teambuilding & Drinks
- hei_INNOVATION Startup Hub, Tiergartenstr. 15, 2. OG, 69120 Heidelberg
- July 22, 2025 | 6 pm
START UPeritivo in July brings together innovative minds to share ideas, gain knowledge, and form teams. 💡 Our after-work event kicks off with short impulse talks on prototyping (Tools & tips for rapid MVP development), growth marketing (First steps to acquiring users), and patents (What you should know early on).
Afterwards, an open mic session invites you to pitch your own ideas or find co-founders. Following the motto “Mix it yourself”, your ingredients – idea, team, knowledge – might just become the next MVP. Maybe you'll even mix your own drinks at the end? We'll see! 🤗 In any case, after the open mic session, the evening will wind down with pizza 🍕, drinks 🧊 and casual networking taking center stage. We’re looking forward to seeing you!
By the way: This START UPeritivo follows the final pitches of the Student Innovation Lab. If you’d like to come earlier and hear which business ideas emerged from the course and what insights the teams gained from the program, feel free to drop by from 3 PM onwards! 😎
