The TUM Venture Labs are a non-profit initiative of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) – Europe's top-ranked technical university – and UnternehmerTUM, Europe's leading center for innovation and business creation. Together, we build Europe's leading hub for deep-tech and life-science entrepreneurship. In our domain-specific labs, we bring high-tech founding teams from first idea to investor readiness, with access to research facilities, industry partners, mentors, and tailor-made programs.
Manufacturing is Europe's economic backbone and a technological anchor for industrial sovereignty and resilient supply chains. With the TUM Venture Lab AM, we're actively shaping that shift – closely embedded in the TUM ecosystem, headquartered at the TUM-Oerlikon Advanced Manufacturing Institute in Garching, with academic leadership from Prof. Peter Mayr, Chair of Materials Engineering of Additive Manufacturing at TUM.
