Prof. Dr. Marc-­Michael Bergfeld:

Welcome to the Munich Venture Summit at MBS!
We believe in empowering European entrepreneurship and boosting innovation.
We love connecting talent, ideas and capital to seed new companies, grow existing ones and promote collaboration across all. Here, we believe that connecting established businesses to progressive start-ups, and vice versa, creates intense value.


Further, we know that entrepreneurship is a risky adventure. We invite you to meet those that successfully took the challenge and survived our selections process: The will present themselves in the “Jungle Room”.
Further, some ventures excel, but many fail. Very few have the courage to get up again and then succeed once more. And as a society, we still stigmatize failure.
That’s why we will honor those that have lived through all aspects of entrepreneurship: rose, slammed, and got back up, and support others in doing so too. We will award one selected venture with the “Phoenix Prize”.
