Startup Café in Erlangen: Exchange ideas, network, get to work
On Saturday, October 31, 2026, ZAM in Erlangen will open its doors for an open startup café. Founders, entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, self-employed individuals, freelancers, and anyone interested in startups and entrepreneurship will meet for personal exchange in a relaxed atmosphere.
Networking over coffee and tea
Between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM, meetings will be the focus. ZAM, together with the Junior Chamber International Erlangen, the economic development of the city of Erlangen, and the FAU Startup Consulting, invites you to a casual discussion round. Over coffee or tea, new contacts, fresh perspectives, and discussions about startups, business models, and the next steps on the path to self-employment will emerge.
Space for questions, experiences, and new ideas
The startup café is aimed at people in various phases: from the initial thought of starting a business to already active founders. Participants will bring their questions, experiences, and ideas with them and benefit from the open exchange with like-minded individuals. The event is fundamentally language-open, although predominantly German will be spoken.
Particular focus: Artificial Intelligence in founding
The use of artificial intelligence in the founding process is a focal point of the event. This involves the opportunities and limits of AI tools for startups as well as the question of how digital applications can be sensibly integrated into the founding work. The thematic exchange connects current expertise with personal experiences from practice.
ZAM as a place for exchange and action
The ZAM main building at Hauptstraße 65-67 provides the appropriate framework for this event experience. As a center for exchange and action, the venue connects collaborative work, creative projects, and practical networking. Following the startup café, a small tour of ZAM is planned.
Conclusion: Come with ideas and take away contacts
The startup café offers an uncomplicated opportunity to meet people with similar interests, ask questions, and gain new impulses for your own startup. Those who want to not just observe entrepreneurship but actively shape it will experience an open audience atmosphere and valuable conversations on equal footing in ZAM.
