equIP Connect

A platform for exchange, innovation and growth

With this event series, CMS creates an inspiring space where start-up founders, investors and legal experts can meet on equal terms. The focus is on the open exchange of knowledge and experience, forging valuable contacts, and building lasting networks within a dynamic ecosystem.

Inspiration that drives change

The focus is on current topics at the intersection of innovation and law: high-profile speakers provide concise insights, whilst interactive discussions offer deep insights into best practices and new developments.

This fosters a lively dialogue between theory and practice – precisely where innovation takes shape.

Strengthening the start-up community together

The event series is part of the initiative centred around equIP, the legal accelerator established by CMS, which provides legal support to start-ups over a three-year period on attractive terms.

As a full-service law firm with a global footprint, CMS brings precisely the expertise that young companies need during their growth phases.

The format: personal, inspiring, approachable

The events take place every two months in a relaxed after-work atmosphere with finger food and drinks.

As part of the equIP Legal Accelerator, equIP Connect specifically strengthens the community surrounding the programme. Start-ups are given visibility, experiences are shared and lasting relationships are built – with CMS as a strong, internationally networked legal partner at their side.
