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 monthly 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.
