Start-Up-Area and Young Innovators

With the support of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE), young and innovative companies from Germany will present their ideas and products at AMB 2026 – using the trade fair as a springboard for a successful entry into the market.

Young, innovative companies from the Young Innovators joint stand, funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE), as well as start‑ups from the Start‑up Area, have the opportunity to apply for a pitch slot on Thursday, 17 September 2026, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

The selected start‑ups will have the chance to present their company in a five‑minute pitch to a broad professional audience, potential partners, and an expert jury – an ideal stage to increase visibility and build new connections.

The AMB Start‑up Pitches are supported and hosted by the Allianz Industrie 4.0 Baden‑Württemberg in cooperation with the Stuttgart Region Economic Development Corporation (WRS).
