Start-up Area: Perfect stage for young companies in the construction industry

Full focus on innovations

Start-ups need contacts with customers and investors in order to grow and presentation space in order to present themselves in the best possible way. This is exactly what the start-up area at BAU 2025 offers thanks to its cooperation partner The Builders Tech Club.

On the start-up stage, the Founders Fight Club offers the opportunity for panels and specialist lectures. Not to forget the highlight of the program: The Founders Fight Night on January 14, 2025.

Interactive formats on the start-up stage

Start-up specialist lectures

In the specialist presentations by the start-ups, visitors will learn more about the problems facing the sector and the innovative solutions of the start-ups in an industry context. Where is progress already being experienced and how?

State of the (digital) Union Panels

In these panel discussions you will find representatives of exhibiting start-ups and expert speakers in a panel discussion on a specific specialist topic. They will explain how technology is changing the status quo for the built ecosystem. The discussion will be recorded in parallel as a podcast episode.

Fishbowl panels

In the goal-oriented discussion about shaping progress in the industry, the exchange of ideas should not be missing. In the fishbowl round, the transition between audience and panelists is fluid, as we change participants several times. This creates a truly interactive exchange of opinions.

Founders Fight Night @ BAU 2025

Get ready to compete!

The Founders Fight Night - the toughest startup pitching competition in the universe. Why is the competition tough? Because no distractions will help the startups - no screen, no slides, nothing.

That's right - every participating startup faces an equal opponent, and only one can win. Battle rap as a pitch event! Of course, the main focus is on having fun for participants and involving the audience.

In this interactive format, the audience is actively involved in deciding who wins the round because, as in real start-up life, only one person is ever right - the market!

The expert jury asks tough "Haymaker questions" in the rounds and tries to influence the market. The sessions will conclude in a spectacular final event on the 14th January 2025 and present: A new Built Ecosystem Founders Fight Champion. No pitch event engages the audience as much as the Founders Fight Night.
