LIVE EVENT
Germany's most entrepreneurial technical university, anchored by the UnternehmerTUM venture centre.
The Technical University of Munich has become the clear leader in German university entrepreneurship, largely through UnternehmerTUM, an affiliated centre for innovation and business creation operating at a scale unusual for Europe.
Munich combines TUM with a dense industrial base — automotive, aerospace, and engineering — giving deep tech founders nearby customers and partners.
UnternehmerTUM runs incubation, accelerator programmes, and its own venture fund, and operates a large maker space for hardware prototyping. That physical infrastructure matters for the industrial and robotics companies TUM tends to produce.
Munich sits within the DACH region, Europe's industrial core.
Celonis, a process mining company, was founded by TUM students and became one of Germany's most valuable technology companies. TUM's broader output concentrates in industrial software, robotics, mobility, and aerospace.
Munich hosts UVC Partners, Speedinvest, and Earlybird alongside substantial corporate venture activity from the region's industrial groups. German federal and Bavarian state programmes provide additional early-stage funding.
GCN’s global network includes millions of startups and founders and a broad community of investors, creating opportunities to discover potential connections across university communities.
