Family Day
& Summit.
Simon Capital invites you to join us on Thursday, September 24 2026, in Düsseldorf, for the Simon Capital Family Day and Summit. At this year’s Family Day, we will share snapshots from our two portfolios, united by a common thread: AI and AI-resilient business models. At Simon Capital, we firmly believe that the future will be defined by those who embrace cutting-edge technology — while recognizing that emotional, high-end, and functional physical products and services will remain just as essential to the way we consume, live and work.
A day in two acts.
Simon Capital
Family Day.
An immersive experience giving you a firsthand look into our two portfolios — products and companies you can taste, touch, and explore up close in an intimate round. We'll share insights into the innovations and founders shaping the way we consume, live, and work.
