​TUM x WHU Alumni Event

​In a world where competitors from Shenzhen to Silicon Valley scale at breakneck speed, German technology startups face a critical balancing act: delivering meticulous execution while racing to outpace global rivals and navigate partnerships with larger institutions. This fireside chat brings together leaders who’ve navigated these pressures—founders blending operational discipline with strategic agility. No grand theories, no empty promises: just actionable lessons on cutting through complexity, accelerating growth without cutting corners, and transforming setbacks into long-term strengths. How do you move fast and build to last in a race against the clock?

​Join us in celebrating a first-of-its-kind collaboration as WHU and TUM bridge their ecosystems for an evening of sharp insights and meaningful connections. After the panel, stick around for relaxed networking over food and drinks. Whether you’re refining your scaling playbook or exploring partnerships, this is your chance to connect with peers who share your drive for precision and speed.

​Let’s build momentum together. See you there!
