Ignite is building the next generation of tech entrepreneurs coming from Europe. We are a highly ambitious community of 100% technical students turning deep expertise into companies that shape the future.
01 — Who we are
Ignite is HPI’s student-led entrepreneurship community for technical students who want to understand how strong companies are built. Through founder conversations, startup visits and shared experiences, we connect students with the people, perspective and community to turn technical ability into entrepreneurial action — no startup required.

02 — What we do
Entrepreneurship is difficult to understand from slides. Ignite creates opportunities to learn from real founders, step inside real companies and meet students who are just as curious about building as you are.
Leadership workshops, founder sessions and practical formats introduce the skills that sit around great technology: communication, product thinking, decision-making and building teams.
Go beyond success stories. Visit startup offices, meet founders and operators, and experience what working inside ambitious technology companies actually looks like.
Meet students across HPI, founders from the ecosystem and people who may become future teammates, mentors, employers — or co-founders.
03 — The team
We are a team of HPI students with one mission: more technical students should experience entrepreneurship firsthand.
