MCEI at Q-Summit 2025 – A Recap!
MCEI would like to extend a huge thank you to the incredible Q-Summit team for organizing such a memorable event, and to everyone who visited us at the MCEI Tent in Innovillage. We, alongside our partner startups, are thrilled with the energy, conversations, and connections made throughout these two days.

Thursday morning kicked off strong with Linity and eviyo taking the stage at our booth. From AI-powered STEM education to spontaneous surprise adventures, both startups sparked great discussions with many student participants. In the afternoon, ISTARI.AI and bhyo. impressed visitors with their groundbreaking solutions in business intelligence and sustainable hydrogen production. The evening “Golden Jazz Hour” cocktail event was a highlight and such good vibes that even the rain went unnoticed!

On Friday morning, we welcomed peopleeat. and OnlyGreens to the MCEI Tent. From professional chefs turning your home into a private restaurant to revolutionizing urban farming through modular vertical farms, the enthusiasm from attendees was fantastic. Despite the continued gloomy weather, the Innovillage buzzed with energy. Many students were excited to learn more about MCEI and MARS and especially about the possibility of starting their entrepreneurial journey during their master’s studies.
As part of the DeepTechHub we were happy to host some people of the other Hub Institutions, give them a little tour on Day One and provide some further time and space for networking between our guests from Heilbronn, Karlsruhe, Pforzheim and Heidelberg.
The day was capped off with inspiring startup pitches, countless new connections, and a legendary after-party that truly closed Q-Summit 2025 on a high note!
Overall, Q-Summit 2025 was a resounding success! MCEI is proud to have been part of it and we look forward to keeping up the momentum to support the next generation of founders and changemakers.
We’re already looking forward to Q-Summit 2026 and everything that’s yet to come!
