Accelerate Conference 2024

About Accelerate
Accelerate is the entrepreneurship event of Germany’s most entrepreneurial university – HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management, organized solely by students. Every year, we invite top entrepreneurs, investors and young talents to Leipzig. We want to offer them a stage to share their creative ideas and insights and to question visions of the future.

Accelerate Conference 2024

The topic of this year’s conference is “Reshaping industries, Redefining success”. The goal of our event is to demonstrate the impact of start-ups, SMEs and large corporates in mutually reshaping established industries. We want to show how they are redefining their success by contributing to society. We believe that by coming together, sharing insights, and exploring collaborative opportunities, we can navigate these times and pave the way for sustainable success.
