The nominated startups from Phase 2 of the Munich Business Plan Competition cover a broad technological spectrum – from artificial intelligence and digital medical applications to highly specialized hardware. They share a clear focus on marketable, technologically sophisticated solutions.
These startups are nominated in the 2nd phase of the Munich Business Plan Competition
- Agentix (Munich | Technical University of Munich): The team is developing software that allows companies to automate their internal processes – simply by voice input. Small and medium-sized businesses should be able to use digital assistants without programming knowledge, saving time and resources.
- Lemonflow.ai (Munich): The startup offers a digital voice assistant for EV charging station operators. It answers customer questions around the clock, helping to significantly reduce support costs and improve the user experience.
- Ovrlay (Grünwald near Munich): With Ovrlay's solution, companies can create high-quality 3D models from simple photos and videos. These can be used for presentations, websites, or virtual trade fairs, bringing marketing to life.
- Legalian (Munich): Legalian makes it easier for companies and law firms to vet their business partners. The platform automatically checks whether legal regulations – such as those relating to money laundering prevention – are being complied with, thus saving considerable effort in day-to-day work.
- Aron Surgical (Munich | LMU Hospital | TU Munich): Aron is developing a digital assistance system for surgeons. The software evaluates data and supports decision-making during surgery – with the goal of making procedures safer and improving the training of young doctors.
- Bioexotec (Munich | TU Munich): The startup is working on a simple test that can detect certain types of cancer very early. The test is based on blood or saliva samples, is non-invasive, and is intended to enable rapid and cost-effective early detection in the future.
- Coby (Munich | Munich University of Applied Sciences): Coby has developed an interactive cuddly toy for chronically ill children. It helps them better manage their daily lives—for example, by reminding them of important tasks—while also providing emotional support.
- Aumatis (Landsberg am Lech): Aumatis produces a small device that allows users to produce metal parts themselves using the investment casting process—for example, for prototypes or repairs. The system is so simple that no prior knowledge is required.
- EnyPro Nature (Munich): The team develops innovative composting machines that reduce organic waste from the catering and food production industries by up to 90 percent within 24 hours and return it to the cycle as high-quality compost concentrate.
- Peak Quantum (Garching | TU Munich): The Walther Meißner Institute spin-off is working on new processors for quantum computers. Their technology is expected to be significantly more stable and reliable than existing systems – an important step toward enabling quantum computers to be used in industry in the future.
