Startup Leaders is the Franco-German elite circle for Europe's most ambitious Deep Tech scaleups: Each year, 10 German and 10 French handpicked Series A+ scaleups founders come together as a cohort for 4 exclusive retreats, supported by a mentoring network of senior industry Executives, unicorn founders, VCs and political leaders. Startup Leaders is rooted in the tradition of the prestigious Baden-Badener Unternehmergespräche (BBUG) and thus built as a confidential, life-long and values-based community for long-term European growth and cross-border scaling enablement. Startup Leaders kicks off at VivaTech 2026 with an initial cohort uniting scaleups from fusion, quantum computing, semiconductor, climate tech, space tech and AI. Startup Leaders is an initiative by the German Startup Factory southwestX
