📍 Next Stop: TUM Campus, Garching Gate 🚀
We had an exciting visit to the GATE at TUM's Garching campus! Here’s a snapshot of what makes this place a tech powerhouse:
- 30+ tech startups thriving in a collaborative environment.
- 9 dedicated teams driving innovation across diverse fields.
- A sprawling 5,000 sq meters dedicated to entrepreneurship.
- Co-founded by 3 entrepreneurs just 5 years ago.
Key Takeaways:
- Success Factors: Startups with 2+ cofounders and larger teams (2–3x) tend to achieve bigger milestones.
- Focus on Business Plans: A structured plan is essential, especially in fields like AI and advanced tech.
- Independent Institution: GATE operates autonomously, fueling tech innovation.
- Part of a Thriving Ecosystem:
- 17k inhabitants at Garching campus alone.
- 25k+ TUM students with direct access to this ecosystem.
- Industry Impact: From aerofoils to safety tech, GATE startups are pushing the boundaries of innovation.
Why Bavaria?
With support from Bavarian economic affairs, startups here enjoy unique growth opportunities. Bavaria’s focus on science and innovation is clear, yet there’s room for increased entrepreneurship as many Germans remain risk-averse.
