Hinterland of Things

Still feeling lost in the agenda and don’t know what to see on stage? Don’t worry. We’re continuing our little series of insider recommendations for #Hinterland26. Last time, Greta shared one of her personal highlights. This time, it’s Dominik’s turn. And let’s be honest: If the Co-Founder & CEO of the Founders Foundation had a free slot in his calendar on June 18, this is probably where you’d find him. No spoilers, Dominik Gross explains it better himself, so press play. 👇 More insider recommendations coming soon. June 18th, 2026, Stadthalle Bielefeld.

Let's talk about the very first item on the agenda. Not the first keynote. Not the first panel. 🌟The opening.🌟 Because at #Hinterland26, we start it the way we want to spend the entire day: At the intersection of technology, innovation and imagination. And this year, we've prepared something special. Something that captures what Hinterland is all about. 🕺Humans. 🤖Technology. 🙏Progress. That's all we're going to reveal for now. But let's just say: The opening ceremony is a program highlight in its own right. So when you're planning your day, make sure you're not still standing in line for coffee when the lights go down. Because this is one of those moments you'll want to experience live. 🕘 9 a.m. Opening Ceremony 📍 Hinterland Stage June 18th, 2026, Stadthalle Bielefeld.

With two stages, dozens of sessions and more than 100 speakers, making choices isn't getting any easier. And it’s just nine more days…. But don’t panic. We've asked the people behind Hinterland of Things for their personal recommendations. 🚀 Last time, Greta shared one of her must-see sessions. Now it's Stephan's turn. And if you know Stephan Jacquemot, you know he has a knack for spotting the conversations that will still be relevant long after the conference is over. His pick? A panel that challenges the way we think about deeptech made in Germany. No spoiler from us. So if you're still building your agenda, this might be another session worth bookmarking.

🗨️Still looking for agenda inspiration? After Greta and Stephan, it's time for our next insider recommendation. And this one comes from Anna-Luisa Korte , our Director Brand & Content. Now, Anna could have picked a panel. Or a keynote. Or a masterclass. ♀️Instead, she picked something else: The women you should not miss at #Hinterland26. Because let's be honest. The future of business, technology, investing and innovation isn't being shaped by one perspective. And if you take a look at this year's lineup, you'll find some of the most influential women in European business on our stages. 💬Investors. Founders. Executives. Operators. Decision-makers. Women building companies. Women shaping industries. Women deciding where capital flows. Women driving transformation. So here's Anna's recommendation: Don't accidentally spend your day networking in the hallway while some of the strongest voices of the conference are on stage. 🫣Trust us. You don't want to be the person hearing afterwards: "Wait, you missed that session?" We'll let Anna tell you exactly who made her list. 👇 June 18th, 2026, Stadthalle Bielefeld.
