The Business Booster 2026

The Business Booster (TBB) is InnoEnergy's annual cleantech event, where start-ups and scale-ups, investors, industrial companies, researchers and policymakers meet to move clean technologies from pilot to deployment. In 2026 it comes to Munich for the first time, in Hall A6 of Messe München, under the theme "From Transition to Competitive Advantage".

Programme

Two days of keynotes on the main stage, four specialist tracks, pitching sessions and an Investor Track and Investor Forum. Keynotes in 2026 come from economist Mariana Mazzucato (UCL), Jean-Christophe Laloux of the European Investment Bank and BloombergNEF founder Michael Liebreich, with Wired's Jeremy White as moderator.

• Financing and scaling clean tech
• Commercialising first-of-a-kind (FOAK) plants
• Turning pilots into partnerships and deployment
• Markets, regulation and geopolitics

New in 2026

A DACH Ecosystem Pavilion linking the German-speaking region's industry and investors with TBB's international community, an AI Hub on powering AI at scale, and a Bavarian Networking Dinner in an Oktoberfest-style setting on the first evening.

Meetings and exhibition

A B2B matchmaking tool opens before the event so attendees can book meetings with exhibitors and innovators. In 2025 TBB counted more than 1,800 participants, over 3,000 B2B meetings and 117 exhibitors from 46 countries.
