The City of Munich's innovation competition is aimed at students, creative minds, and entrepreneurs who want to develop innovative solutions to specific challenges and tasks facing Munich's city administration. The most convincing solutions will be awarded the Innovation Prize, further developed in collaboration with the city administration, and tested in practice. There is also prize money of €10,000 and an additional implementation budget of up to €15,000 up for grabs. UnternehmerTUM, the SCE, the LMU IEC, Founders@unibw and German Entrepreneurship offer support for the implementation phase.
