Watch our highlight video and see photos from last year's event
Forum UnternehmerTUM is the invite-only flagship event of Europe’s Leading Startup Hub.
Once a year in springtime UnternehmerTUM welcomes 600 hand-picked changemakers and international visionaries to spark action for tomorrow.
On May 21, 2026, we will again bring together thought leaders and innovators to discuss the most pressing topics of today.
Together, we move forward, transforming our immediate challenges into opportunities and actively pushing for change to create a positive future.
Alongside the core program of Forum UnternehmerTUM, a series of side events enrich the day with leading figures from the field, topic- specific insights, and numerous opportunities for exchange.
