On November 5, UnternehmerTUM invites prospective buyers, young entrepreneurs, and investors to explore the topic of business succession.
“Take on the Future” – The UnternehmerTUM Day on External Business Succession
On November 5, 2026, we are bringing together everyone in Munich who is passionate about external succession: entrepreneurs looking for a successor outside their family, prospective buyers aiming to develop an existing business further, and investors finding this space increasingly attractive.
“Take on the Future” brings both sides of succession to the same table: Sellers learn how to place their life’s work into good hands – buyers discover how to successfully navigate the acquisition of an existing company. Both benefit from the same in-depth insights into financing, processes, and practical lessons learned, just from different perspectives.
A Matter of High Societal Relevance
In the coming years, thousands of medium-sized businesses in Germany will be seeking succession outside their families. This puts not only the future of individual companies at stake, but also jobs, regional economic strength, and entrepreneurial know-how accumulated over decades. Successful external succession is therefore a topic that extends far beyond individual businesses – and affects us all.
What to Expect
- in-depth insights into financing models and handover processes
- first-hand field reports from both sellers and buyers
- direct networking with investors and other market participants
- a day full of new perspectives on passing on and taking over responsibility
Taking over a company is a serious alternative to founding a new one. Those who approach external succession in a structured way benefit from the wide range of available sale and handover models. On this day, UnternehmerTUM serves as the neutral platform where all parties can meet in person.
