STARTUPLAND is where the future begins

STARTUPLAND is an upcoming startup event scheduled for November 5th at the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne, Germany. The event will feature multiple stages with engaging presentations, panel discussions, interviews, pitch sessions, and extensive networking opportunities designed for the startup ecosystem.

Three prominent startup founders will serve as keynote speakers, each bringing unique perspectives from their entrepreneurial journeys. Sven Lackinger, founder of Sastrify, will discuss building his Cologne-based cyber-security company that helps businesses purchase and manage software solutions.

The company has successfully raised over $50 million from notable investors and recently acquired competitors in the Netherlands and UK. Lena Hackelöer, who founded Brite Payments in Stockholm in 2019, will share insights about account-to-account payment solutions and compare the Swedish startup ecosystem to Germany's. Her company operates across 26 European markets and has raised approximately $60 million.

Frank Wolf from Staffbase will present his experience building employee communication platforms since 2014, growing the company to 800 employees and €66 million in revenue through strategic acquisitions.
