09. Jul
Take this opportunity to meet one of Germany’s most exciting entrepreneurs—and let yourself be inspired by a story that shows how, with a good idea, the right people, and a lot of passion, you can really make a difference.
What began in 2006 as an idea centered around FC St. Pauli has grown into a movement that connects people all over the world. Through Viva con Agua, Micha, together with thousands of supporters, is committed to improving access to clean drinking water for everyone—and in doing so, demonstrates that social change can also be achieved in a creative, positive, and joyful way.
In this Startup Date, Micha talks about the early days of Viva con Agua, crazy ideas, bold decisions, and how a labor of love grew into an international movement. He discusses entrepreneurship, social responsibility, and how to inspire people to embrace a shared vision. Of course, he also talks about challenges, setbacks, and the many stories that only happen when you just take the plunge.
Micha offers fascinating insights into nearly 20 years of Viva con Agua and explains why networks, trust, and a clear purpose are often more important than perfect plans. And why it’s worth thinking big while still staying true to yourself.
At Startup Date, you’ll have the opportunity to experience Micha Fritz in person—authentic, inspiring, and full of real-life stories. As always, after the interview, there will be a chance to ask questions and chat directly with Micha.
