Munich \u2014 Great news for the Munich start-up scene: Unter\u00adneh\u00admer\u00adTUM and the TUM Venture Labs will be supported by the entre\u00adpre\u00adneur brot\u00adhers Andreas and Thomas Str\u00fcng\u00admann with 25 million euros over the next 10 years. This funding will give Euro\u00adpe\u2019s largest start-up and inno\u00adva\u00adtion center at the Tech\u00adni\u00adcal Univer\u00adsity of Munich and the new TUM Venture Labs a major inter\u00adna\u00adtio\u00adnal boost.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnter\u00adneh\u00admer\u00adTUM and TUM have built an outstan\u00adding start-up ecosys\u00adtem over the last twenty years. With our commit\u00adment, our family would like to make a contri\u00adbu\u00adtion to accom\u00adpany even more students as well as scien\u00adtists on a successful entre\u00adpre\u00adneu\u00adrial path,\u201d say Andreas and Thomas Str\u00fcngmann.
\nThe two entre\u00adpre\u00adneurs are known as successful inves\u00adtors, having inves\u00adted early on in the now globally renow\u00adned biotech\u00adno\u00adlogy company BioNTech and in the gene\u00adrics manu\u00adfac\u00adtu\u00adrer Hexal.<\/p>\n
Direct rese\u00adarch transfer<\/p>\n
The TUM Venture Labs initia\u00adted by TUM and Unter\u00adneh\u00admer\u00adTUM offer an inter\u00adna\u00adtio\u00adnally outstan\u00adding funding infra\u00adstruc\u00adture for one speci\u00adfic tech\u00adno\u00adlogy field each. They are speci\u00adfi\u00adcally focu\u00adsed on signi\u00adfi\u00adcant tech\u00adno\u00adlogy fields and create dyna\u00admic ecosys\u00adtems of start-ups, acade\u00admia, inves\u00adtors and expe\u00adri\u00aden\u00adced companies.<\/p>\n
The inte\u00adgra\u00adtive colla\u00adbo\u00adra\u00adtion of the indi\u00advi\u00addual TUM Venture Labs enables inno\u00adva\u00adtion to emerge at the inter\u00adfaces between tech\u00adno\u00adlogy fields, distin\u00adgu\u00adis\u00adhing them from simi\u00adlar start-up initia\u00adti\u00adves at other top entre\u00adpre\u00adneu\u00adrial univer\u00adsi\u00adties worldwide.
\nAround 100 high-poten\u00adtial startup teams are alre\u00adady under the care of Venture Labs, bene\u00adfiting from tail\u00ado\u00adred support services, incu\u00adba\u00adtion space, trai\u00adning and ventu\u00adring programs, and access to global networks of compa\u00adnies and inves\u00adtors to prepare their startups.<\/p>\n
A mile\u00adstone for the inno\u00adva\u00adtion metro\u00adpo\u00adlis of Munich<\/p>\n
Prof. Thomas F. Hofmann, Presi\u00addent of the Tech\u00adni\u00adcal Univer\u00adsity of Munich, sees the coope\u00adra\u00adtion as \u201canother mile\u00adstone in Munich\u2019s deve\u00adlo\u00adp\u00adment into the leading tech\u00adno\u00adlogy inno\u00adva\u00adtion center in Europe. I am confi\u00addent that other part\u00adners from busi\u00adness, science and poli\u00adtics will join our initia\u00adtive to use the TUM Venture Labs to spawn entire fami\u00adlies of start-ups from the foun\u00adding state of Bava\u00adria that are inter\u00adna\u00adtio\u00adnally compe\u00adti\u00adtive with rese\u00adarch-based deep-tech applications.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe unique selling point of Munich\u2019s inno\u00adva\u00adtion and startup scene is the pooling of forces between univer\u00adsi\u00adties, start\u00adups, the public sector, estab\u00adlished compa\u00adnies and entre\u00adpre\u00adneu\u00adrial fami\u00adlies,\u201d says Prof. Helmut Sch\u00f6\u00adnen\u00adber\u00adger, foun\u00adder and CEO of Unter\u00adneh\u00admer\u00adTUM and Vice Presi\u00addent Entre\u00adpre\u00adneur\u00adship at TUM. \u201cThe Str\u00fcng\u00admann fami\u00adly\u2019s commit\u00adment to Unter\u00adneh\u00admer\u00adTUM and TUM Venture Labs is a wonderful exam\u00adple of the spirit of coope\u00adra\u00adtion at Munich\u2019s inno\u00adva\u00adtion and start-up location.\u201d<\/p>\n
