The abbreviation SOA stands for Startup Open Air and refers to the one-day event where networking, innovative ideas and fun come together. Startups, speakers, experts and people interested in founding come together in 7 different areas to network, inspire and learn from each other in an open-air summer atmosphere with musical highlights. In recent years, the SOA was still called "Summer Slam". With the term "Startup Open Air", we want to allude to the content of the event: An open-air event for the entire startup ecosystem. Compared to previous years, however, it's not just the name that's new. The event program has been expanded to include a workshop and tech area, a pre-opening with the top 20 startup exhibitors and investors and cyber security pitches.
