Say hello to the Upstream 2025 App

We’re excited to launch your ultimate sidekick for navigating Upstream Festival 2025: the Upstream App – your smart, sleek, and startup-savvy tool to get the most out of your two days in Rotterdam.

This is not just another event app. It’s the control panel for your Upstream experience – designed to help you meet the right people, make better decisions, and avoid missing the good stuff.

So… Why Use the App?

Because it’s where everything happens before it even happens.

Whether you're a founder, investor, or just startup-curious, the Upstream App lets you:

  • Browse the full programme and build your own schedule

  • Discover side events across the city (and yes, there are over 35 of them)

  • Match with other attendees based on what you’re building, funding, or looking for

  • Message directly – no awkward badge scanning or post-event guesswork

  • Access session info & speaker details in real time

  • Get updates and reminders so you don’t miss what actually matters

Want to meet your next investor, co-founder, or customer?

The app makes it easy:

  • Send meeting requests in advance

  • Filter by role, sector, interest, or vibe

  • Set your availability and lock in real convos before the chaos begins

This is your Upstream shortcut to cutting through the noise and getting to the people you came to meet.

Pro Tip

The best Upstream meetings don’t always happen on stage – they happen over coffee, in hallways, and through smart connections made before Day 1.

That’s where the app comes in.

Ready to Dive In?

You’ll receive your personal login by email after you purchase your ticket. Just download the app (search for “Upstream Festival 2025”) on the App Store or Google Play, log in, and start exploring.
