A crucial aspect of the Manage and More program is the diverse array of events available to our scholars.
These events serve as dynamic platforms for networking, and idea sharing, facilitating our unique community spirit. Stay tuned for our upcoming events and seize the opportunity to immerse yourself in our thriving entrepreneurial community, to forge meaningful relationships, and to draw inspiration from every interaction.
Start-up Tours
Every semester, we organize a Startup Tour - a unique opportunity to explore the startup scene in cities across Europe and beyond. Participants visit startups, accelerators, and venture capital firms to gain firsthand insight into local innovation scenes and build valuable connections.
In addition to the professional visits, we always include unique local experiences to get to know the city in a fun and memorable way. For many scholars, the tour is one of the highlights of their time at Manage and More.
Lisbon
Portugal
“The Startup Tour in Lisbon was an amazing experience for me. It was incredible to see how vibrant and beautiful a city can be, not only in terms of culture and cuisine, but also in innovation and entrepreneurship. Visiting startups and institutes that foster innovation was both inspiring and eye-opening. Sharing this experience with fellows from so many different generations made it even more enriching, as it provided the opportunity to exchange ideas and perspectives in a unique and collaborative way. One of the highlights of the trip was the unforgettable boat tour with Start Lisbon along the Tejo River.” Rafael Schellhorn de Sá G42
Sofia
Bulgaria
“The Startup Tour in Sofia was more than just an inside look at a new ecosystem—it was a 4 days of inspiration, spontaneous moments, and deep connection. Beyond the meetings and insights, it was the long conversations with fellow scholars, shared laughter during late nights, and the feeling of being surrounded by people who genuinely challenge and support each other that made it unforgettable. Grateful to be part of a community where learning and growth happen just as much between the official agenda points as during them.” Sahbi Faidi G41
Tallin
Estonia
"The startup-tour in Tallin was for me a resemblance of Manage and More and the European diversity. Estonia offers a very digital and Startup friendly environment. But the core of the tour for me was diving in the eastern/northern European culture with sauna, curling and traditional food together with fellow scholars.” Timo Sattler G40
Istanbul
Turkey
"I loved experiencing the city through an entrepreneurial lens. Everbody was very impact-driven and visiting the entrepreneurial ecosystem naturally gave us all a true understanding of how Istanbul's start-up scene is developing. Personally, I also enjoyed pitching MM to Kworks - the entrepreneurship research center of Koç University and was surprised how well known UnternehmerTUM is in the European entrepreneurship ecosystem. " Ashutosh Gursale, G38
Milan
Italy
"I truly enjoyed the start-up tour to Milan that I did at the beginning of my first semester. I was one of the lucky scholars from a new generation who got a ticket and together with a couple of new friends we went on a road trip there. I believe that it's the best way to start your MM journey as you directly get a chance to get to know many scholars and alumni in a relaxed atmosphere." Vladimir Smoley, G38
Lisbon
Portugal
"Experiencing how innovation and tradition blend in this pulsating city while enjoying the southern sun was a blast. Furthermore, I did not only get to know a new city but also my MM family from another side, having some completely different experiences! It‘s a 'Klassenfahrt' like back in schooldays, just way nicer!" Felicitas von Braunmühl, G37
Berlin
Germany
“Since I joined the tour even before I was accepted to the program most of the other people were strangers to me, but they became friends throughout the trip, and I realized for the first time what the Manage and More community is all about. What a time: During the day inspiring discussions with great founders and at night dancing past sunrise to techno music. Until today stories from those great four days keep coming up." Janick Hofer, G38
