TUM Global DeepTech Venture Initiative

We bring Tech Entrepreneurs to Munich.

[Translate to English:]

The TUM Global DeepTech Venture Initiative (GDTV) aims to support international high-tech talents on their way to establish a successful start-up within the Munich ecosystem. Start-ups from all over the world are given the unique opportunity to settle in the German high-tech metropolis with the help of an experienced expert network. The mixture of scientific innovation, high talent density, and fast-growing industry in the heart of Europe makes Munich one of the most attractive locations to scale start-ups and transform them into successful and sustainable businesses.

Everything you wish for your Start-up in one place - Munich.

Munich Global Impact Hub (MGI Hub)

The Munich Global Impact Hub (MGI Hub) is an intense biannual six-month program for entrepreneurial talents to support them on their journey through the Munich ecosystem. The MGI Hub is an initiative led by the three Munich based universities Technical University of Munich (TUM), HM Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences (HM), and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich (LMU). The Munich Global Impact Sprint aims to be a key hub for innovation and entrepreneurship in the regional Munich ecosystem.

The universities are supported by their respective innovation and entrepreneurship centers: UnternehmerTUM, Strascheg Center for Entrepreneurship (SCE), and LMU Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center (LMU IEC).

The universities are committed to partnering with other higher education institutions worldwide to strengthen Munich’s position as a key player in the international entrepreneurial ecosystem. The MGI Hub is funded and supported by the EXIST-Potentials program of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK).
