r26 in the Jahrhunderthalle: Where Business Meets Festival Energy
On July 2, 2026, the Jahrhunderthalle Bochum will become a meeting point for founders, investors, corporates, and the innovation ecosystem of the Ruhr area. r26 connects real talks, masterclasses, matchmaking, and main-stage moments into an event experience with a clear target audience and a lot of dynamism.
A Festival for Ideas, Capital, and New Contacts
r26 stands for entrepreneurship in an open, energetic event atmosphere. From the former ruhrSUMMIT, a new business festival emerges that brings together future topics such as artificial intelligence, digital economy, sustainability, talent development, and innovation. Those who experience networking not as a duty but as an opportunity will find the appropriate framework here.
The Jahrhunderthalle as a Strong Stage
The Jahrhunderthalle Bochum offers the right setting for an event of this size with its industrial architecture, spacious festival areas, and barrier-free access. The venue is easily accessible, parking facilities are in close proximity, and tram lines 302 and 310 conveniently bring guests to the Bochumer Verein / Jahrhunderthalle location.
More than Panels: Encounters with Substance
With over 50 speakers, more than 120 exhibitors, and around 10,000 square meters of festival space, r26 focuses on substance instead of clichés. The mix of specialist program, side events, and networking time creates space for conversations, collaborations, and new perspectives. This is exactly what makes the appeal of this event experience: Here, not only industries meet, but connections are formed.
What Visitors Can Expect
On-site, there will be a professionally organized business festival, clear paths, a culinary offering, and an environment designed for exchange. r26 is aimed at anyone who wants to not only observe innovation but actively shape it. Anyone interested in the future, entrepreneurship, and strong connections should experience this event live.
