Exhibitor Stage
Here, exhibitors take center stage! On our Exhibitor Stage, trade fair exhibitors showcase a variety of solutions and innovations from their companies, present products, and discuss visions and future plans.
If you, as a visitor, want an exclusive insight into the current market developments or wish to get to know a particular company better, this is the place to be. Stay tuned for what our exhibitors will bring to the “Stage” for you.
Start-Up Stage
A special concept calls for a special stage – and we are excited that at digitalBAU 2026, our Start-up Stage will be a real eye-catcher in the form of a boxing ring.
Start-ups need connections to customers and investors to grow, as well as presentation space to showcase themselves effectively. This is exactly what the entire Start-Up Area, including the stage, offers, thanks to our cooperation partners Founders Fight Club / The Builders Tech Club.
On the Start-Up Stage, exhibiting start-ups will have the exclusive opportunity to present themselves and their passion projects through panels and expert talks.
The highlight of the three-day fair will be the Founders Fight Night on Wednesday, held on this stage.
Each participating start-up faces an equally matched opponent, and only one can win. Battle Rap as a pitch event! The focus is on the fun for participants and the audience.
This interactive format actively involves viewers in deciding who wins each round because, just like in real startup life, only one has the right: the market!
