Käpsele 2026: The aftermovie is here

84 seconds. A whole day at the festival. The aftermovie for the third Käpsele Innovation Festival 2026 is now online – and it captures what words alone can scarcely describe.

2,000 attendees, five stages, conversations that get under your skin, ideas that stick in your mind, and encounters that can lead to more than just an exchange of business cards. Käpsele isn’t a traditional business event – it’s a place where energy is generated. The aftermovie captures exactly that.

It features moments from the transformation panel with Joe Kaeser, Birte Hackenjos and Aya Jaff, from the start-up pitches on the Dr Falk Pharma stage, from the masterclasses and interactive stations – and above all: from the people who, on that day, turned Freiburg into one of the most relevant hubs for innovation in the German-speaking world.

Those who were there can relive the experience. Those who missed it will get a taste of what’s in store on 1 July 2027.

The Käpsele Innovation Festival 2026 was presented by the Haufe Group and organised by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce for the Southern Upper Rhine and Freiburg Wirtschaft Touristik und Messe (FWTM).
