The NextStepNetzwerk is moving: In 2026, the monthly regulars' tables of the NextStepNetzwerk #darumFrankfurtOder will take place at BLOK O in Karl-Marx-Straße 182. The first exchange of the year will take place on Tuesday, January 13 at 5 p.m.
Last year, the City of Frankfurt (Oder)'s economic development agency, together with regional cooperation partners from the business and start-up promotion sector, set an example for the start-up scene. With the NextStepNetzwerk, a new event format was launched that offers start-ups, young entrepreneurs and company successors the opportunity to network with each other.
A regular meeting was established under the motto #darumFrankfurtOder, which takes place monthly (every second Tuesday of the month). These meetings took place at Café Kukuryku! in 2025.
"Our aim was to create a space for entrepreneurs from different sectors who are in the first few years after founding or taking over their company to exchange ideas," explains Mayor and Councillor for Economic Affairs Claus Junghanns.
The format was developed and implemented in cooperation with the economic development department of the city administration of Frankfurt (Oder), the East Brandenburg Chamber of Industry and Commerce, the IHK project company, the Chamber of Skilled Crafts Frankfurt (Oder) – East Brandenburg Region, the European University Viadrina and the Brandenburg Economic Development Agency.
