DISRUPT FROM THE CORE - FESTIVAL FÜR INNOVATION UND TRANSFORMATION

How can artificial intelligence and digital technologies be used effectively in companies? How do new research findings turn into concrete applications? And how can companies, startups, and academia work together to bring innovations into practice faster?

With Disrupt from the Core, a new festival is emerging on October 20 and 21, 2026, at the LOKSCHUPPEN in Marburg, one that puts exactly these questions center stage. Initiated by StartMiUp and in cooperation with LOVEDIS and Regionalmanagement Mittelhessen, it brings together the players who accelerate transformation:

• Companies with relevant transformation questions,

• Research that develops, tests, and evaluates disruptive technologies,

• Startups that bring new solutions and business models to market.

Over one and a half days, the festival offers space for exchange, new perspectives, and concrete collaboration. The focus is on digital technologies, artificial intelligence, and disruptive innovations, with the goal of accelerating the transfer between research, industry, and startups, and turning innovative ideas into joint projects.

Further information about the program and the first speakers will be announced in the coming weeks. Admission is free.
