Since January 2026, PHW Group has been a new strategic partner of UnternehmerTUM GmbH. UnternehmerTUM is the Center for Innovation and Business Creation at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Founded in 2002 by entrepreneur Susanne Klatten, it is now one of Europe’s largest startup centers.
With success rates of just 5-8%, the EIC Accelerator remains the ultimate test for deep-tech founders. Yet those who master it unlock millions in grants & equity plus access to Europe’s top innovation networks.
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.
