IGNITE — Catalysing Global Innovation Leadership

Are you an innovation leader at a university, public agency, or technology hub? Join us in March in Munich for our TUMint flagship executive training program on catalysing innovation ecosystems!

Inno­va­ti­on eco­sys­tems don’t hap­pen by chan­ce. They are built by lea­ders who ali­gn actors, con­nect capa­bi­li­ties, and turn poten­ti­al into impact. 

IGNITE takes you insi­de the Munich inno­va­ti­on model — Tech­ni­cal Uni­ver­si­ty of Munich (TUM), Unter­neh­mer­TUM, the Ven­ture Labs, anchor indus­try and poli­cy — and sends you home with a road­map for your own insti­tu­ti­on and the net­work to deli­ver it.

Who Attends?

VPs Rese­arch & Inno­va­ti­on | Deans, Rec­tors, Pro­vosts | Heads of Tech Trans­fer | Govern­ment Inno­va­ti­on Leads | Regio­nal Deve­lo­p­ment Agen­ci­es | Fun­der Stra­te­gists

Why Munich?

Munich is Europe’s most con­cen­tra­ted deep-tech eco­sys­tem — and TUM is its key­stone insti­tu­ti­on. TUMint gui­des lea­ders towards cus­to­mi­zing this know-how to own insti­tu­tio­nal needs.

  • Pro­ven entre­pre­neu­ri­al uni­ver­si­ty model
  • Seam­less indus­try-sci­ence inte­gra­ti­on with glo­bal anchor com­pa­nies at TUM
  • Prac­ti­cal know-how from hands-on uni­ver­si­ty-dri­ven inno­va­ti­on and eco­sys­tem acce­le­ra­ti­on glo­bal­ly

The Jour­ney 15 — 17 March 2027

Con­firm­ed Con­tri­bu­tors

Lear­ning from the peo­p­le who built the sys­tem — the pro­gram will enga­ge key stake­hol­ders within the Munich inno­va­ti­on eco­sys­tem who have been pivo­tal in deve­lo­ping what we have today.

Below you see a pre­view of con­firm­ed Munich hosts — plus rota­ting guests from anchor cor­po­ra­tes, foun­ders, and poli­cy part­ners.
