deGUT - German Start-up & Business Fair
deGUT 2025 - October 10 + 11, 2025
The Triple Play at DEGUT 2025

Rave the Planet. Regional hero. DeGUT

What is the Triple Play – and why should you stop by?

The Triple Play is a new trade fair experience at deGUT 2025, developed by MiU24®. It combines three strong ideas into a common stage – for people who want to make a difference.
MiU24® – the enabler - A wholesaler with attitude. MiU24® not only brings products, but real support for people with ideas – with advice, strategy and heart. Rave The Planet - Founding with Attitude - a special project that shows: You can also start a company with music, culture and responsibility. Loud, clear, creative – and with real impact. Regionalheld® – Showing responsibility where you live – the new platform for all those who want to change something in their region. For entrepreneurs, initiatives and doers who leave their mark with their actions - socially, economically, honestly. Together, the Triple Play is a space in which business is rethought. Not from above. But at eye level. With attitude, exchange and new perspectives. The Triple Play shows that founding a company can be human. Entrepreneurship can make sense. And change often starts with a real conversation. Come by for deGUT 2025 – and experience how people, ideas and responsibility work together. This is the Triple Play. And you can be part of it.

Experience the Triple Play - when and where does it take place?

On 11.10.2025 at 15:00 p.m., the triple will be taken over by deGUT. Yes, you read that right. From 3 p.m. it will be: Clear the stage for the treble. Beats instead of buzzwords. Attitude instead of high gloss. Content instead of information stand. Rave The Planet will be awarded live and in color as the only Regional Hero 2025. Why? Quite simply: Because we don't feel like rankings, votes or award ceremonies with a barbecue buffet. Because courage is not measured – but celebrated. And yes, there is music. No, you don't have to dance – but you can. Above all, however, you can listen, marvel, laugh, nod, think along – or simply say: "Finally something different."

Will the triple play continue - even after deGUT and where?

Encounters arise where spaces come alive. Where ideas flow, conversations dock and the bass resonates in the heart. Not a place to pass by, but an invitation to stay. Anyone who comes here ends up in the middle of a playground – full of perspectives, impulses and real connection.
Together we create moments that resonate – in minds, hearts and networks. People don't meet at an event, but in an experience. And in the middle of it all, a new platform for regional power pulsates: Regional hero®.

Regional hero® is more than a name. It is a digital ecosystem for doers, municipalities and companies with attitude. This is where impact, visibility and community are combined – in a community that gives courage, lives change and makes the future possible. A place for real change. For stories that count. For ideas that take root. And for all those who prefer to be in the middle of it instead of standing by. Of course, it is also possible in the Triple Play – because real impact always comes in waves.

Regional Hero® 2025 – at deGUT

Courage. Innovation. Region.

2025 is not a year of competition – but a deliberate change of perspective. MiU24, the makers of Regionalheld®, is deliberately refraining from a classic Regionalheld® competition this year. Instead, a clear signal is being set: success is not only measured in numbers, but also in attitude, relevance and social impact. With Rave The Planet as the only winner in 2025, MiU24® is focusing attention on precisely these values. Because in a world full of comparability, it is not more competitions that are needed – but inspiration, courage and a clear attitude.

The stage format "Rave The Planet – Founding with Attitude & Impact" is therefore more than just an award ceremony. It is space for conversations, for inspiration - and for real encounters between founders, creatives, networkers and funding agencies. With live music, visuals and a strong network focus, the event becomes an experience – and gives courage to think in a new way.

👉 "A regional hero® is not a trendsetter, but a trailblazer – for a region that thinks with the future."

FAQ What happens what works

The Triple Event at deGUT

Everything at a glance: the program and FAQ

What is deGUT – and why should I go at all?

The deGUT, the German Founders' and Entrepreneurs' Days, is not a boring business conference with a tie requirement, but a place full of ideas, encounters and zest for action. On October 10 and 11, 2025, the ARENA Berlin will become a stage for all those who are curious about self-employment, entrepreneurship or simply fresh perspectives. For two days, founders, entrepreneurs, career changers, funding agencies, media people and creative minds will meet here. It's about real questions from real life: How do I start a business? How do I finance a good idea? Where can I find partners who understand me? The special thing about it is that it is not just about talking, it is about doing things. With workshops, panels, discussions at eye level and topics that have their finger on the pulse of the times.

How do I get to deGUT – and what do I need to know?

The ARENA Berlin is easily accessible - whether by bus, train, bicycle or car. You can easily get tickets for deGUT online at www.degut.de. There you will also find all information about the program, the exhibitors, times and offers. For early bookers, the look is particularly worthwhile, because if you are fast, you save. All you need on site is yourself – no name tag, no business plan, no pitches. Just come by, look around, talk to people. Or stay still and observe for now. Everything is allowed, nothing is mandatory.

Who is behind it all – and what is MiU24 doing at deGUT?

MiU24 is the official media partner of deGUT, a brand developer with an attitude and an exhibitor with an invitation to a change of perspective. But don't worry – there are no image brochures to leaf through here, but real conversations and honest craftsmanship. MiU24 brings its own brands, such as Hostingmonster®, develops identities, builds networks and shows how economic activity can be combined with values, humor and humanity. At deGUT, MiU24 will become a meeting place – without a stage, but with a programme. It's not about staging, but about exchange. Not about marketing, but about doing.

What exactly happens on Saturday in the special area?

On October 11, 2025, from 3 p.m., the triple will take over deGUT. Then the programme becomes the programme: the special area is transformed into a lively stage full of impulses, perspectives and connections. Rave The Planet is awarded as a regional hero, there are talks with MiU24, media makers, founders and cultural people. The topics range from "Subculture meets entrepreneurship" to "Founding with meaning". In addition: music, visuals, exchange formats and an open invitation to think along. If you feel like it, you can listen. Anyone who wants to can dance. And if you just want to watch, you are also welcome. The whole thing lasts into the evening and leaves enough room for encounters – planned and spontaneous.

What is the treble – and why is it talked about so much?

The triple is not a new app, a sales booth or a lecture that throws around buzzwords. It is an experiential format that combines three strong elements: social responsibility, cultural foundation and strategic brand development. And it shows that this combination is not only possible, but also fun, moving and inspiring. On Saturday, October 11, 2025, at 3 p.m. sharp, the triple will get its stage at deGUT - literally. What happens next is not typical trade fair entertainment, but an impulse that remains: Rave The Planet is awarded as a Regional Hero 2025 – not as the winner of a competition, but as a conscious decision for attitude, impact and social relevance. There is also music, conversations, exchange, an open stage and, above all, people who have something to say.

Why is there no competition at the Regional Hero – and what is it anyway?

Regionalheld is not a prize to be hung on the wall, but a platform for responsibility with depth. Here, not only figures and growth rates are considered, but values, attitude and impact. In 2025, MiU24 deliberately refrains from a classic competition with rankings, jury votes and trophy presentation. Instead, a strong signal is being set: Rave The Planet is being honored as a regional hero because the initiative shows that entrepreneurship can also grow from subculture – with social relevance, cultural depth and a clear vision. The Regional Hero is an ecosystem, a digital network, an impact magazine – and above all a place for people who don't wait for the perfect pitch, but simply get started.
