The Digital Demo Day is the largest B2B startup expo & conference in Germany. With the event, we continue the successful event format that offers tech startups a platform to present their digital technologies to try out and feel. After six successful years, we are now celebrating tomorrow's innovations for the seventh time in 2023 by bringing together startups, SMEs, companies, investors and universities to look for the digital transformation of the future.

The 7^th Digital Demo Day will take place on Thursday, August 17, 2023.

On the day of the event, the following steps are required for the registration process and admission:

3. After successful registration, you can move freely in the halls and between the halls in the fresh air.

Beware of emails in which third parties are advertising with participant lists from DDD. This is clearly a fraud attempt and we as Digital Innovation Hub Düsseldorf/Rheinland are in no way connected to such an email. Neither we at digihub nor anyone associated with the Digital Demo Day will ever solicit you to purchase attendee lists for a fee or use any other services.

Please also note that digihub's IT systems have not been compromised and the email addresses included in such distributions do not originate from us. If you receive a fraudulent email with an example of the attendee list available for purchase, do not interact with the sender and follow your organization's procedure for reporting SPAM.

We apologize for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, large events like Digital Demo Day can be a target for fraudulent messages. If you continue to receive suspicious emails or calls, please contact us immediately.
