City of Offenbach is the next venue in 2026

On Friday evening, November 7, twelve Hessian companies were awarded the Hessian Founder Prize at the Stadthalle in Hofheim am Taunus. Next year, the event will take place in Offenbach. As this year's host, Wilhelm Schultze, Mayor of Hofheim am Taunus, passed the baton to City Councillor Paul-Gerhard Weiß, representing Lord Mayor Dr. Felix Schwenke. "Offenbach is the cradle of the Hessian Start-up Award. We are proud that Offenbach will now host the Hessian Founder Award for the third time in 2026 after 2003 and 2012. This is not only a tribute to the history of the competition, but also a strong signal for our dynamic start-up and creative scene," said City Councillor Paul-Gerhard Weiß.
