Europe is a global leader in R&D - but a laggard in turning innovation into scalable businesses. Despite high patent output and strong research spending, regulatory complexity is holding back commercialization. Start-ups face unclear rules, delayed launches, and even relocation abroad. To stay competitive, Europe must shift from regulatory roadblocks to regulatory entrepreneurship - where policymakers actively partner with innovators to build a smarter, faster, and more adaptive ecosystem.
We’re thrilled to announce a major milestone: Since 2017, start-ups from our XPRENEURS program by UnternehmerTUM have raised over €2 billion in funding - a huge testament to the vision, grit, and innovation of early-stage founders.
Introducing the XPRENEURS Founders Board – a game-changing initiative designed to supercharge our already thriving community and provide the next generation of entrepreneurs with unparalleled support and guidance.
“You never stop learning – and entrepreneurship is always individual.” Building a start-up is an incredible journey - but it’s also filled with challenges that no founder should face alone. That’s where XPRENEURS comes in. Take it from Sascha, founder of encosa, who joined XPRENEURS not once, but twice - first in Batch #1 with Evum Motors and again in Batch #16. Why? Because the value of the program goes far beyond its 3 months.
