Forum UnternehmerTUM

Forum UnternehmerTUM is our invite-only event, where we spark action for a liveable future. Once a year in springtime Forum UnternehmerTUM welcomes hand-picked changemakers and international visionaries. The Munich Urban Colab, our atmospheric innovation center, with its flowing open-house setting, is its perfect location.

Don’t let crises define us, unleash Europe's collective resilience, that was the motto in 2024. Together we join forces to meet current challenges and co-create the most effective solutions for a thriving future.

Lets look forward to the next year:
