Forum UnternehmerTUM is an invite-only event where we spark action for a liveable future. In 2023, hand-picked changemakers and international visionaries from the start-up scene, business and science were meeting up for the 15th time in a flowing open house setting. They shared impulses for economic and societal shifts. And they learned more about the most exciting tech innovations.
Transforming Europe for sustainable growth was the motto of the Forum 2023. People, Planet, Prosperity were the key words.
Our innovation center in the heart of Munich, the Munich Urban Colab, was the perfect location.
Among others, Ann Mettler, Vice President, Europe, at Breakthrough Energy, Bill Gates’ network to achieve a path to net zero emissions by 2050, gave herself the honor as speaker. Verena Kuhn was also one of the panelists. As Head of the Innovator Communities at the World Economic Forum, she oversees a community of more than 400 global start-ups across different maturity stages. As well with an emphatic call to action on stage: Arthur Singer, Managing Director & Co-Founder of STABL Energy - as well as Inas Nureldin Founder and Managing Director of the German Brand Award winner “Start-up of the Year 2023” Tomorrow.
They and many others made the Forum 2023 a special day - together with you!
A heartfelt ‘thank you’ for the excellent panel. I thoroughly enjoyed our exchange which demonstrated so much potential for home-grown clean tech innovation in Germany and beyond. So let’s double down on our collective efforts to scale these ideas and business models.
Congrats to UnternehmerTUM for bringing together such a stellar group of change makers.
Ann Mettler, Vice President, Europe, Breakthrough Energy
"Time’s up. We need a new narrative, new business models, new bold change makers."
