40 startups, 250 investors & corporates – Ecosystem Startup Reveal 2026 💙 Tonhalle was buzzing yesterday as 250 VCs, investment partners, and ecosystem leaders gathered to meet the startups shaping the future of European deep tech. 🔄 Across the afternoon and into the evening, 40 startups pitched during our walking tours, each team presenting to rotating groups of investors, enabling focused conversations and meaningful connections. 🎙️ Speaker corners sparked high-quality discussions on the themes defining Europe’s innovation landscape, from deep tech investments and alternative financing structures to international scaling and AI deal flow. 🚀 The highlight of the day: UnternehmerTUM Accelerator Batch #19 officially came out of stealth mode and 18 new startups were revealed to the ecosystem for the first time.
