TUM IDEAward Award Ceremony & Event

Every year on the last Thursday in November, TUM and UnternehmerTUM host the TUM IDEAward, the annual award ceremony for the ideas competition of the same name, supported by the Zeidler Research Foundation.

[Translate to English:] Graphik einer Rakete

Ten founding teams are waiting that day to present their exciting and innovative ideas and/or technologies to the audience. They have been pre-selected from countless competition entries by a jury of experts and have made it to the final round of ten finalists.

In the end, the three most promising start-up ideas from science, which are expected to have a great market potential, will be awarded. They can look forward to prize money totaling 37,500 euros.

In addition to exciting idea pitches, the stage program is accompanied each year by keynote speakers, start-up Q&A and the festive awards ceremony. In addition, there will be a networking session afterwards where the teams and numerous representatives of the TUM & UnternehmerTUM ecosystem will have the opportunity to exchange ideas live.

We want to bring people together and promote the exchange between founders, students, scientists, corporates and investors. In the second part of the evening, you will have the opportunity to talk personally with our 10 IDEAward finalists and to find out about the current offers for start-up support from TUM and UnternehmerTUM.

It doesn't matter if you are just discovering the topic of innovation & start-up for yourself or if you are already an experienced topic expert: We welcome all those interested in start-ups. We are looking forward to a colorful variety of guests from the innovation ecosystem of TUM and UnternehmerTUM, to old acquaintances as well as new faces.
