Start-ups@IZB: Fresh Ideas and Tangible Opportunities for Collaboration

With Start-ups@IZB, the International Suppliers Fair 2026 gives innovative start-ups direct access to the Volkswagen Group.

The call for applications attracted strong interest: 38 start-ups submitted applications. They were invited to propose concrete solutions to predefined challenges set by the Volkswagen Group. Following the selection process, ten invitations to in-depth Deep Dive sessions were issued to explore the proposed solutions together and identify opportunities for collaboration. These discussions will take place during IZB.

Another focal point is the Start-up Lounge in Hall 5, Stand 5202, supported by Niedersachsen.Next. Here, selected start-ups will showcase their innovations and engage with industry professionals.

Through these initiatives, IZB raises the visibility of young companies, facilitates face-to-face exchange and opens up tangible opportunities for collaboration.
