Inside Delivery Hero’s 15th Anniversary Celebration

On Friday, 4 September, Delivery Hero employees gathered at Berlin’s Kulturbrauerei to celebrate a milestone 15 years in the making. 

What began as an annual summer party evolved into our company’s largest internal event to date, bringing together teams from across the Berlin ecosystem to honor Delivery Hero's growth from a local Berlin startup into a global delivery platform operating in 65 countries.

Built by Heroes

Delivery Hero’s expansion over the past 15 years is the result of employees solving challenges, making bold decisions, and supporting one another daily. The anniversary event served as recognition of that effort, bringing together ~1,400 employees from across the business.

Operating across continents and time zones requires an inclusive, collaborative workplace. Bringing together team members representing dozens of nationalities, the evening focused on connection and collective effort. 

Event Highlights

Designed to offer a diverse range of activities, we hosted a structured program throughout the evening:

• CEO Speech: CEO Niklas Östberg opened the night with an address reflecting on Delivery Hero’s 15-year journey and thanking employees for their resilience and dedication.
• C-Level Bar Shift: Executive leadership stepped behind the bar to serve drinks directly, giving employees an informal setting to connect with leadership.
• DH15 Quiz: Teams competed in a company trivia challenge covering Delivery Hero’s history, key operational milestones, and corporate culture.
• Hero DJs & Live Karaoke: Employee DJs played sets across multiple dance floors, while team members took the stage at the karaoke lounge.
• The Memory Studio & Creative Workshops: Employees gathered for photo booth snapshots and crafted customized hats and crowns in a creative workshop.
• Brand Food Stations & Chill Areas: Dedicated food and drink hubs highlighted Delivery Hero’s global brand network with cuisines on offer from around the world, alongside board games and lounge spaces.

Looking Ahead: Culture, Connection & Community

The 15th Anniversary celebration was an unforgettable night that brought employees together from across the organization, showcasing the energy, and collaborative spirit that define Delivery Hero’s culture.

Building on this momentum, Delivery Hero is looking forward to its next internal event before the end of the year, which will focus on celebrating Employee Resource Groups and strengthening community across teams.
