On the backstage stage, Gabriele B\u00f6hmer<\/strong>, Head of Munich Startup, beamed with joy at all the guests present. "Until now, in our perception, there hadn't been a festival-like gathering where the entire Munich ecosystem came together\u2014and we wanted to change that."<\/em> We seem to have struck a chord: 1,700 tickets sold speak for themselves.

The former professional footballer and entrepreneur Viktoria Schnaderbeck<\/strong> shared her (injury) story and the lessons she's learned from the numerous setbacks in her career. She's certain: \u201cIt wasn\u2019t my sporting successes that made me stronger, but my low points.\u201d<\/em> Your recipe for a successful comeback in all situations consists of three factors: 1. Define your goals and milestones.
2. Accept only your very best. 3. Build your personal success team. (Photo: Aaron Karasek \/ Munich Startup)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The first panel of the day was dedicated to the topic "The next big thing: Munich's path to the circular economy." Katrin Habenschaden, Deputy Mayor of the City of Munich, Matthias Ballweg, co-founder of Circular Republic, Karsten Peddinghaus, Head of Sustainability Activities at the BMW Group, G\u00fcnes Seyfarth, founder of Community Kitchen, and Benjamin Erhart of UVC Partners discussed the status quo of the circular economy and the role startups can play on the way there.

What do you get when the entrepreneurship centers of Munich's four largest universities meet on a panel? A fascinating discussion about how to foster the entrepreneurial mindset of students and university staff and the role entrepreneurship support plays for universities and society. \u201cWe are working to make Germany a leading nation that shapes transformation rather than waiting for it,\u201d<\/em> explained Prof. Dr. Helmut Sch\u00f6nenberger<\/strong>, CEO of UnternehmerTUM. (Pictured: Prof. Dr. Rafaela Kraus, Vice President for Entrepreneurship at the Bundeswehr University Munich, Prof. Dr. Klaus Sailer, Managing Director of Strascheg Center for Entrepreneurship (SCE) at the Munich University of Applied Sciences, and Prof. Dr. Jelena Spanjol, PhD, Head of the Institute for Innovation Management at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich.

A billion-dollar valuation is probably the dream for many founders \u2013 but is unicorn status even worth striving for? Daniel Krauss, CIO and co-founder of Flix, Jonas Rieke, COO and co-founder of Personio, and Remy Lazarovici, Managing Director DACH of Celonis, agree: The unicorn title doesn't change much. What's much more important to them is having fun at work. The audience also learned what the three consider when making their own investments and why good founders never stop reflecting on their own work.

Entitled "Money Matters," the panel focused on retirement planning and financial security for female founders. Finances are still too often a male concern, which often affects women's financial security. Especially during the startup process, there are so many issues and to-dos that many female entrepreneurs no longer have their own retirement planning on their radar, confirmed Melly Sch\u00fctze, founder and managing director of Nushu. According to financial expert and founder of HerMoney, Anne Connelly, the most serious mistake in long-term financial planning is simply doing nothing. Therefore, the unanimous advice of the panelists, who, in addition to Connelly and Sch\u00fctze, included Katharina Jessel, board member of the health and travel insurers in the Versicherungskammer group, was to address financial retirement planning as early as possible, set up an appropriate savings plan, and start with small amounts.

A highlight for many attendees: the visit of Federal Finance Minister Christian Lindner. Together with Svenja Lassen and Hanno Renner, he discussed the question "Where does politics need more support for startups?" A detailed summary of the panel you can read here<\/a>.

The official program concluded with the awarding of the Munich Startups Awards<\/a>In a final pitching round, four Munich startups, which had previously prevailed against approximately 70 competitors and two semifinals, competed against each other. The jury decided: Deepdrive received the title of "Best Munich Startup" this year. The young company offers innovative drivetrains for electric vehicles that allow a vehicle to travel 20 percent further or require 20 percent smaller batteries for the same range. Gabriele B\u00f6hmer, Head of Munich Startup, and Clemens Baumg\u00e4rtner, Munich's Minister of Labor and Economic Affairs, presented the award, which comes with a cash prize of 5,000 euros. The Audience Award, awarded for the first time, and thus 1,000 euros, went to Vaeridion for its small electric aircraft.
