About TEGMunich, since 1986
Since 1986, TEG has pursued two aims: to bring executives from large corporations and mid-sized companies into conversation across industries, and to prepare the next generation for the leadership of German companies.
Partners and speakers
Several times a year we invite executives from large corporations and mid-sized companies to Munich, to conferences, panels and the TEG Management Talk. A few speak; most come to listen, and for the conversations afterwards.
Our formatsIn the Young Business Leadership Academy, we prepare students and young professionals for leadership responsibility over 18 months: through workshops with experienced executives, in permanent teams and with a project of their own.
The AcademyThe two are intertwined: our events are prepared and led by participants of the Academy as a learning project. They secure the speakers, partners and guests themselves.
Each format brings together executives who share something: an industry, a function or an overarching question. We do not hold mass events; we compile the guest list ourselves.
A small circle with real depth in a single industry. People in positions of responsibility who share interests and expertise come to know one another.
A handful of presentations by decision-makers from the same professional function. Those who attend sit among peers.
Presentations and panels over a full day. A deep dive across the boundaries between industries.
Our programme for students and young professionals who intend to take on leadership responsibility. Over 18 months, alongside their studies or work, participants attend workshops with experienced executives, work in permanent teams and finally lead a project of their own, for instance one of our events.

Every six months we select 8 to 15 participants for the Academy from more than a hundred applications. Every applicant goes through the same process, regardless of background or connections. We assess analytical thinking, drive and leadership character: the ability to take the initiative, to lead and to be led.
How to applyThe programme has existed since 1986. Of some 300 graduates, 41 now hold top-management positions in large corporations and 40 serve as managing directors of mid-sized companies.

TEG was founded in Munich in 1986 on an initiative led by Dr. Hellmuth Buddenberg, then Chairman of the Board of Deutsche BP. The aim was to form, early on, a new generation of executives who think as entrepreneurs. By 1988, board members of eleven companies had come together as the Kuratorium. Today TEG is a non-profit association dedicated to adult education.
Represented on the Kuratorium: Deutsche BP (now bp) · BMW · Siemens · Roland Berger + Partner · The Boston Consulting Group · MBB (now Airbus) · Peat, Marwick, Mitchell + Co (now KPMG) · Ruhrgas (now E.ON) · Bayerische Hypotheken- und Wechsel-Bank (now HypoVereinsbank) · Infratest · Personal-Media-Partner (now part of Roland Berger)
