CVC / Open Innovation Summit Europe
On November 25–26, 2025, the CVC / Open Innovation Summit Europe will take place in Berlin for the first time – an exclusive senior-level gathering for corporate venture capital, innovation, and strategy leaders. Around 80 international executives (CxO-/SVP-level) from industry, finance, and policy will come together to rethink Europe’s role in times of geopolitical uncertainty, technological dependency, and systemic transformation.
The program features keynotes, high-level panels, and closed-door roundtables on pressing questions such as:
-
How can Europe mobilize strategic capital for systemic change?
-
What role will AI, robotics, and deep tech play for competitiveness and sovereignty?
-
How can energy, infrastructure, and resilience be secured for the digital future?
-
What replaces “growth-at-all-costs” in the next capital model?
The Summit is co-hosted with leading corporates such as Signal Iduna, BorgWarner, MANN+HUMMEL, and Telefónica, supported by the u-path, City of Berlin and AsiaBerlin.
As an official Side Event of the AsiaBerlin Forum, the CVC / Open Innovation Summit builds bridges between Europe, Asia, and the U.S. – creating a trusted space where senior leaders develop systemic strategies and launch concrete collaborations.
