From October 7 to 11, 2025, thousands of entrepreneurs, investors, creatives, and corporate leaders will descend on downtown Cincinnati for one of the region’s most anticipated innovation events: Startup Cincy Week.
Now in its seventh year, Startup Cincy Week has grown from a grassroots gathering into a full-scale, multi-day celebration of what makes Cincinnati one of the most exciting startup hubs in the country. With over 70 events, 3,000+ attendees, and representation from every corner of the ecosystem, it’s more than a conference—it’s a movement.
What Is Startup Cincy Week?
Startup Cincy Week is a weeklong series of events, panels, workshops, and networking opportunities designed to elevate the startup ecosystem of Cincinnati and the broader Midwest. Powered by Cintrifuse and a coalition of community partners, the event brings together founders, funders, talent, corporations, and community leaders to collaborate, celebrate, and push the region forward.
