One of Munich's most successful entrepreneurship centers is UnternehmerTUM. We present five Munich startups that share not only success but also their connection to UnternehmerTUM.
With around 200 employees, we develop and market Navvis Hardware and software for mapping indoor spaces. Mobile laser scanners are used to capture (map) indoor spaces, and the startup uses the data to create "digital twins" of the scanned spaces. These are primarily used in the monitoring and documentation of construction projects, as well as in production and factory planning. The startup's customers include companies such as BMW, Daimler, Allianz, Audi, and Skoda. The Navvis founders received several forms of support from UnternehmerTUM and TUM: In addition to start-up support and the provision of office space, the first prototypes for the Indoor Mobile Mapping System (IMMS) were developed in collaboration with the Chair of Industrial Design.
