Summit 2026

Welcome to the Kapnative Summit

On September 3, 2026, Kapnative invites you to the Summit at the Empire Riverside Hotel Hamburg. With more than 100 participants from family offices, institutional investors, and general partners, the Kapnative Summit has established itself in recent years as a recognized meeting point of the private markets industry.

The focus is on current developments in private equity, infrastructure, and private debt as well as their role in strategic portfolio allocation. High-caliber panels, selected product presentations, and insights from our investment committee led by Christian Maria Kreuser provide access to relevant market trends, investment approaches, and selected quality leaders.

Beyond professional exchange, the Summit creates above all one thing: space for high-quality conversations and durable new connections among decision-makers and investors.

For selected partners, there is also the opportunity to position themselves prominently as part of a sponsorship and gain visibility within a highly relevant professional audience.

We look forward to welcoming you in Hamburg.
