In the future I will workn the Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship at the Technical University of Munich and HypoVereinsbank. The bank receives direct access to startups from UnternehmerTUM's accelerator program TechFounders.
The young entrepreneurs supported by UnternehmerTUM should be able to get to know the bank's needs more directly than before and adapt their prototypes for financial services and products accordingly. Boris Skukanec, Chief Digital Officer and Head of Group Development at HypoVereinsbank:

This includes the institutionalized exchange with the global tech community, startup companies, and academic institutions to quickly develop new solutions for our customers and further increase our own efficiency."

“With TechFounders we bring the Innovation culture and the Creativity of startups with the expertise and the Experience of established companies together”, ssays Hartung. "This creates ideal conditions for the development of innovative products and services tailored to customer and bank-specific requirements, which our new partner HypoVereinsbank can quickly use for its customers."
The TechFounders accelerator program from UnternehmerTUM offers innovative technology startups access to its in-house infrastructure and initial funding of €25,000. Startups also benefit from coaching and mentoring from UnternehmerTUM and HypoVereinsbank.
