The 16th edition of the Founders Forum for Sustainability is just around the corner!

Are you the founder of a sustainable start-up? Then be part of this edition!

StartHub Hessen and TechQuartier invite you to a joint virtual exchange with other founders of sustainable and green start-ups in Hessen and the Rhine-Main region. This time, everything revolves around the topic of “green transformation”.

This time the Keynote will be held by Karsten Hirsch, founder of Plastic Fischer. Karsten studied law in Cologne and, after graduating, founded Plastic Fischer – the world’s first company to stop ocean plastic from entering rivers in order to protect marine biodiversity.

Together with his team, he turned a rough idea into a company that has received awards from the World Economic Forum and the German Sustainability Award, among others.

The event starts at 17:00 and is intended exclusively for startup founders with a sustainable business model. The event is also part of TechQuartier’s TQ Accelerator: Green Transformation.
