EMC is more than just an educational journey. It’s sharing adventures with a lively community, building lasting bonds and connecting with professionals. This dynamic ecosystem fosters collaboration, mutual growth, and real-world success, setting a unique stage for nurturing the next generation of entrepreneurs and innovators.
Pitch Events
Showcase your startup at exclusive pitch events or learn about the newest developments of others to learn from the depth and diversity of entrepreneurial talent within the program. These events are not just about presenting your ideas; they are excellent grounds for networking, partnership building, and securing investments. The interactions with venture capitalists and investors at these events go beyond mere pitches—it’s about creating a network of support, advice, and opportunity that continues to grow and strengthen over time.
Offsite Adventures
Escape to the Bavarian Alps for one of our offsite adventures to blend leisure with learning, fostering a sense of community and teamwork. These activities are unique for every event and mostly season-dependent, ensuring a rich variety of experiences. Combine group activities, team building, inspiring creativity, learning, and fellowship in stunning natural surroundings.
Networking & Community Events
Participating in networking and community events is essential to foster deep connections among participants. Enjoy vibrant community events like joint learning sessions, working out with fellows, cooking together, visiting local must-sees, exploring the Munich nightlife, and many more exciting activities. These activities not only enrich the Masterclass experience but also cultivate friendships and professional relationships that last well beyond the program’s duration.
HEAR FROM EMC ALUMNI
“The EMC supported my professional development on several levels. Writing my Master’s thesis about my first start-up allowed me to use unexpected synergies and give full focus on what really matters – getting off grounds entrepreneurially. Even though my first start-up did not work out for me, I got to know my current co-founder during the EMC. Overall, the crowd was super nice.”
Lukas Rose
Co-Founder & CEO ProperBird GmbH
“The EMC gives the right environment to continue the entrepreneurial journey without taking a break for the thesis. The bi-weekly meetings allow insights into different topics around entrepreneurship. Even if you are aware of all the content, the network of ambitious people being part of the EMC is irreplaceable.”
Sarah Wali
Founder and CEO BugSense Diagnostics
“TUM EMC allowed me to focus on pursuing my entrepreneurial ambitions while writing my thesis, applying academic research methods to the business problem I fell in love with. I enjoyed connecting with like-minded entrepreneurs from different disciplines as part of batch #1. And I am impressed by how the program has developed over the last years – what a great success story!”
