Movers and Shakers Summit

Every year we bring together the tech startup scene from all over the world and build meaningful connections between startups, corporates and investors. 

One day before our main Event PIRATE Summit – Europe’s craziest tech event, we bring together the global community of startup ecosystem players and work on hands-on solutions for the most urgent startup ecosystem topics.

Out of the Box Award

The former “DWNRW”-award is coming to Cologne with an entire make-over and PIRATE Summit will be the hosting-event for it. 

Now coined “OUT OF THE BOX.NRW” (#OOTB), the purpose is to celebrate entrepreneurship by awarding NRW’s (North Rhine-Westphalia’s) top three digital startups with prize money of 50.000€ in total!

PIRATE Summit

PIRATE Summit is the yearly gathering of entrepreneurs that love to solve real problems and build sustainable businesses. Although technology is discussed at PIRATE Summit, it actually isn’t a tech conference. It is a conference for those that use technology as a tool to build something valuable. As such, it is more a conference about entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship.
