UnternehmerTUM on the Way to the Next Gold Medal (July 2024)
Hi everyone,
At the Olympic Games, top athletes are currently competing in Paris to bring home one of the 320 gold medals. For us, the supreme discipline is a different one: We are hoping to win the title “Europe’s Leading Start-up Hub” again this year.
As Europe's Leading Start-up Hub
Last year we won ‘Gold’. To be at the top of the ranking again, we need the votes of our alumni. If you took part in our programs between 2018 and 2023, then have a look at the Financial Times survey here. Thank you for your feedback and support!
