The Dortmund Innovation Tour is aimed at (new) top talent from business and science – postdocs, female professors, researchers at institutes, executives, high-potential individuals, as well as female entrepreneurs and successors.

Together, the participants will discover significant innovation hubs in the city and gain exclusive insights into current economic and scientific developments. The tour will be accompanied by the Managing Director of the Dortmund Economic Development Agency and a professional city guide. Depending on the thematic focus and the composition of the group, different locations will be visited, such as the port area, PHOENIX West, Lake PHOENIX, the Dortmunder U or the stadium.

The conclusion is formed by a joint gathering – on 24 September as part of the after-work market at Theater Dortmund in Sami’s Theaterbar – offering space for personal exchange and the building of valuable networks.
