9th Crowdinvesting Symposium
September 19, 2025
This year’s 9th Crowdinvesting Symposium will take place at TU Dresden. Researchers in the fields of economics, business administration, innovation, information systems, and law are warmly invited to submit a paper. The workshop offers scholars the opportunity to present their research on topics related to crowdfunding and crowdlending (particularly donation-based crowdfunding, reward-based crowdfunding, equity crowdfunding, crowdlending, marketplace lending, and token-based crowdfunding/ICOs) and to receive feedback from fellow researchers. We are pleased to welcome Professor Thomas Lambert (Rotterdam School of Management) as this year’s keynote speaker.
