Transforming facts into insights that inspire actions for a better and elevated world.
As a European think tank based in Munich, Germany, AlpMomentum's mission is to transcend borders, tackle the most pressing global challenges, and foster strategic thinking across Europe. Focusing on entrepreneurship, innovation, education, and societal dynamics, we aim to equip society and policymakers with a robust foundation of facts to navigate Europe's future uncertainties. At AlpMomentum, we believe in the power of rational and informed decisions to shape a world where progress and sustainability coexist. Through rigorous research, interdisciplinary dialogue, and innovative thinking, we strive to uncover solutions that drive growth while ensuring the well-being of future generations. Our work is guided by the principle that knowledge is the catalyst for change, empowering individuals and communities to envision and create a future aligned with our shared values and aspirations.
Our Mission 2030 For Universities:
2/3 of all European Universities should publicly acknowledge entrepreneurship as their third pillar, alongside research and teaching.
As we embark on our journey, our inaugural study has delved into the efficiency of European universities in fostering entrepreneurial ecosystems. In collaboration with Redstone, one of Europe's leading venture capital firms, and the European Startup Network (ESN), we developed the “University Startup Index - 2023.” This initiative illuminates pathways for leveraging academic innovation for societal benefit.
