Where strategic dialogue turns into real partnerships and tangible outcomes.
The MSC Frontier Tech Hub is an exclusive, invitation-only event, fully embedded within the ecosystem of the Munich Security Conference (MSC), and with direct access to Europe's strongest frontier tech and innovation ecosystem of UnternehmerTUM & TUM Venture Labs.

Benedikt Franke, Vice-Chairman & CEO Munich Security Conference
For decades security technology flowed from government programs to the market. Today it increasingly flows the other way. Europe's challenge is not to generate innovation but to adopt and scale it fast enough. The MSC Frontier Tech Hub is where we confront that challenge.
Frontier technologies as a shared field for action. Europe's leading deep tech ecosystem and the world's leading conference on security policy are continuing their successful partnership.
Under the new name MSC Frontier Tech Hub, the Munich Security Conference (MSC), UnternehmerTUM, and TUM Venture Labs are joining forces, pooling their international reach and further expanding strategic dialogue at the intersection of technology, security, and innovation.
As geopolitical tensions rise and global technology competition intensifies, future technologies are moving increasingly to the center of economic, societal, and security policy debates.
MSC Hub 2026 in Numbers
Technological Sovereignty Through Strong Partnerships
The second edition of this invitation-only format will once again be held as an official part of the MSC, within walking distance of the Bayerischer Hof, at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry for Munich and Upper Bavaria (IHK). It focuses on close collaboration between corporates, startups, and scaleups, on shared exchange, concrete partnerships, and new initiatives.
It's all about strong individuals and functioning networks
What began in 2026 with more than 800 guests from over 40 countries, 50 high-level speakers, twelve panels, and five closed-door roundtables continues on February 12 and 13, 2027. More than 1,000 international decision-makers from government, industry, defense, academia, and the innovation ecosystem are expected to attend.
Technology as a Decisive Factor for Europe's Security
AI and autonomous systems, sovereign digital infrastructure, energy and cybersecurity, resilient supply chains, and emerging developments in space and defense are to shape Europe's competitiveness, resilience, and strategic autonomy. The Hub provides the framework to examine these technologies in the context of their economic, societal, and security policy implications.
At the MSC Frontier Tech Hub, we bring founders, investors, and industry leaders together to tackle mission-critical challenges. By turning Europe's deep-tech strengths into scalable solutions, we strengthen resilience, prosperity, and freedom.

Helmut Schönenberger, CEO UnternehmerTUM
Technological sovereignty does not come from research or regulation alone. It emerges where innovations scale successfully and where strong partnerships form between startups, investors, industry, and government. The MSC Frontier Tech Hub creates exactly that space.

Philipp Gerbert, CEO TUM Venture Labs
Europe needs technological strength to remain secure and sovereign. To achieve this, we need courage, capital and start-ups that grow into scale-ups. The Chamber of Commerce and Industry for Munich and Upper Bavaria (IHK) supports the MSC Frontier Tech Hub so that the potential of Bavaria’s ecosystem can unfold.
