ABOUT THE SUMMIT

A chapter of a global movement, gathering in Frankfurt.

The Hindu Economic Forum (HEF) is a chapter-level initiative of the World Hindu Economic Forum (WHEF), a global network that brings together entrepreneurs, business leaders, investors, professionals, and policymakers. Its guiding idea is captured in the event's motto, "Grow Together · Share Together": wealth and knowledge should be created collaboratively and shared to strengthen communities and society as a whole.

The Frankfurt edition takes place on Friday, 23 October 2026, from 14:00 to 20:00 at the Titus Forum, Frankfurt. It aims to deepen business and innovation ties between India and Germany — offering a platform for networking, exchanging expertise, and exploring cross-border partnerships and investment opportunities.

A highlight is the Startup Pitch session, where founders can showcase ideas, pitch to potential investors, and seek funding.

At its core, the event exists to build a business network of like-minded individuals whose vision is to make society better through the righteous conduct of business.
