In addition, in late November, ubivent was selected as the most promising young company in Mannheim. Ubivent is off to a fast start – they received 12 months of funding from EXIST, “a program of the European Union and the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology” designed to support innovation. In fact, Geisser and co-founder Thomas Butter (Managing Director Research and Development) were recently with SAP, where they worked on some of SAP’s first virtual events. The co-founders then spent several years working at multinational corporations, where they held numerous roles in IT and IT management.

According to Michael Geisser, Managing Director Market Development, the ubivent co-founders “met at university, working together in an IT research program and pursuing our PhD”. Based in Mannheim, Germany, ubivent has entered the virtual events platform market with a recently launched platform.
