The aim of the TUM Venture Labs is to multiply the number of spin-offs of tech companies from academia. To this end, they create dynamic ecosystems of startups, academia, investors, and experienced companies. Individual venture labs are dedicated to different technology fields such as Built Environment, Healthcare, or Food/Agro/Biotech.

To qualify, they should already have a prototype for a specific product or service and be in the pre-seed phase. Furthermore, at least one team member should have a connection to TUM. Application The teams must submit an English-language video of no more than 3 minutes online, in which they present themselves, their solution and its potential for a lasting impact.
