Growmorrow Festival Oldenburg

Growmorrow is more than a classic conference. The festival format combines lectures on large stages with interactive workshops, exhibition areas, networking lounges, and a supporting program that blends business dialogue with a festival atmosphere. The venue is the Weser-Ems-Hallen Oldenburg, whose hall and foyer areas are sufficient for the variety of formats.

Four Focus Topics

The program concentrates on four future fields that will shape the coming decades of the Northwest and beyond:

• Mobility: Electromobility, hydrogen drives, autonomous driving, new logistics concepts, port and rail transport in the Northwest
• Energy: Renewable energies, offshore wind, hydrogen economy, storage technologies, sector coupling
• Artificial Intelligence: Applications in business and administration, ethical questions, AI governance, regional value chains
• Climate: Adaptation strategies, climate resilience, climate-neutral business models, nature conservation

Speakers and Lectures

Representatives from business, research, politics, and civil society speak on the festival stages. Keynote lectures, panel discussions, and fireside chats alternate. The speaker list includes both national and international stars as well as regional players from the Northwest.

Networking and Encounters

A central concern of Growmorrow is targeted networking. Dedicated lounges, curated matchmaking formats, and informal meeting spaces make it easier for participants to make new contacts—between start-ups, SMEs, corporations, universities, and administration.

Weser-Ems-Hallen Oldenburg

The Weser-Ems-Hallen / EWE Arena on Wilhelmshavener Heerstraße provide the spatial framework. The multi-story hall landscape allows for parallel formats, exhibition areas, and a flexible festival layout.
