Ultimate Demo Day 
December 11, 2025

Innovation is a key driver for wellbeing and future wealth of society. Therefore, efforts like UnternehmerTUM are crucial to bring the right people together and build startups. Going forward, we need to scale our companies much stronger to stay globally competitive.

In sports, as in business, standing still means falling behind. Especially in challenging times, we need courageous people who lead the way with new ideas and say, “Let's do it now all the more.” That's why, as a former athlete, I love this start-up scene and celebrate the crucial support provided by UnternehmerTUM.

What innovation needs most right now is collaboration and connection across networks - and honest conversations about what’s holding us back in Europe and what’s working. We must learn to navigate fragmentation, mindset, and regulatory barriers and turn them into our unique European advantage.

At UnternehmerTUM’s Ultimate Demo Day, you can truly feel Europe’s innovation energy — exactly the kind of spirit we bring to GITEX Europe to connect ideas, talent, and technology on a global stage.

At Radio Gong, we love new ideas—especially when they originate here in Munich! UnternehmerTUM brings together founders, creative minds, and movers—and Ultimate Demo Day is the best proof of that.

“Europe has the talent and the research excellence to lead in deep tech — what we need is the conviction to back bold ideas from the very beginning.”

Nobody is perfect but a team can be. The comprehensive startup supporting framework established by UTUM acts as powerful catalyst for founders and investors, setting a benchmark for all startup hubs in Germany. While founding remains a demanding marathon, a vivid ecosystem provides the wheels and engines to not just run, but drive towards success. This momentum is a unique opportunity for all of us.

Germany has a remarkable legacy in innovation — think of pioneers like Carl Benz, Wilhelm Röntgen, Oskar von Miller, and many others whose groundbreaking work laid the foundation for our prosperity. Startups and UnternehmerTUM carry this legacy forward — they are the modern engines of progress where vision becomes reality.
