The European Spinoff Summit is an exclusive, invite-only event on the 12th May in Munich dedicated to bridging the gap between academia and entrepreneurship. Co-hosted by First Momentum Ventures and SPRIND (Germany's Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation), and supported by Joachim Herz Stiftung and TUM Venture Labs, the summit brings together around 150 hand-selected researchers, deep-tech founders, investors, universities, technology transfer offices, and ecosystem players from across Europe.
The European Spinoff Summit supports scientists on their journey from lab to successful startup, offering a curated program of keynote talks, hands-on workshops, panel discussions, networking sessions, and a poster competition. Attendees gain direct access to prominent deep-tech investors and learn first-hand from founders who have successfully spun out of research institutions.
This year, speakers such as Jan Goetz (CEO, IQM Quantum Computers), Georg Püschel (Co-Founder, Wandelbots), and many more are on the agenda. Past speakers have included the co-founders of Isar Aerospace, Twaice, CureVac, and Ineratec, representing some of Europe's most successful science-based ventures. The Spinoff Summit has established itself as one of Europe's premier gatherings for research-driven innovation and deep-tech entrepreneurship.
