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.

The European Space Agency (ESA) and UnternehmerTUM, are launching the ESA Business Accelerator Germany together with TUM Venture Lab Aerospace and acitoflux. The program is aimed at highly innovative German scale-ups, i.e. fast-growing companies, in the space industry. The goal is to strengthen the competitiveness of the German space industry through individual support in the areas of business model development, market penetration, and financing. The program starts immediately in Munich with representations in Stuttgart and Hamburg.

We’re thrilled to announce our new programme partner, EIT Manufacturing — a pioneering initiative co-funded by the EU. Together with TUM Venture Labs Additive Manufacturing, we will support early-stage start-ups and spinoffs with cutting-edge technologies addressing key manufacturing needs.
