4C Unplugged 2024 – A day of innovation and collaboration

On October 16, 2025, Tübingen will once again transform into a vibrant meeting place for creative minds, visionary founders, and established companies. Our goal: to foster exchange, enable collaboration, and jointly drive forward medical innovation.

Whether at the exclusive satellite event with Bentley InnoMed, an exciting keynote, an intense panel discussion, or a personal speed dating – 4C Unplugged offers you the stage to gain visibility, build connections, and gather fresh impulses for your next growth phase.

We look forward to an inspiring day full of meaningful encounters, bold ideas, and future-oriented perspectives.

 

Satelite Event of the 4C Unplugged at Bentley InnoMed GmbH 

A brand-new format that’s already generating buzz: The Satellite Event at Bentley has been very well booked — and it’s easy to see why.

It offers startups a rare opportunity to go behind the scenes of a company that began as a startup itself and has since become a global player.

On October 16, 2025, before the 4C Unplugged, startups participating in 4C the Unplugged will get exclusive access to Bentley InnoMed GmbH — free of charge.
