SYSTEMEU is launching its Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP) Open Call, with €7.55 million in funding available for interregional innovation projects focused on the digital transformation of healthcare, energy, and mobility. The Open Call begins on September 15, 2026 , and applications will remain open until November 16, 2026; five to eight projects will be selected to develop, test, and validate innovative solutions in real-world environments across the five SYSTEMEU regions.

The call is open to independent legal entities based in one of the five SYSTEMEU regions, including companies, startups, research organizations, universities, public authorities, and other organizations from Bavaria (Germany), Northwest Romania, Castilla y León (Spain), Tuzla Canton (Bosnia and Herzegovina), and Portugal’s Norte Region. Its objective is to accelerate cross-border collaboration, share knowledge and technological capabilities, and bring promising innovations closer to deployment and commercialization.

Katharina Hesseler, co-founder of the SCE alumni startup Omegga, talks to Saskia Doll of Munich Startup about her startup: an AI- and spectroscopy-based technology that determines the sex of hatching eggs even before the seventh day of incubation. Worldwide, around seven billion male chicks are killed each year immediately after hatching—Omegga aims to change that with its solution.

That’s great. We’re thrilled to welcome the law firm ZIRNGIBL as a new partner in our SCE Friends & Fellows Community!

ZIRNGIBL Rechtsanwälte Partnerschaft mbB will provide legal support to selected SCE startups in the future, including in the areas of labor law, intellectual property, and competition law. This will give our founders not only entrepreneurial support but also the legal certainty they need to bring their ideas to life in the best possible way.

Are you facing a specific challenge in your startup and looking for quick, practical feedback? With “Coaching on the Fly,” the Start for Future (SFF) Alliance is now offering founders, teams, and startups free, personalized coaching sessions through the OpenHubs platform.

Under the motto "The future belongs to the bold", the 25th European Health Congress Munich once again brings together innovation, politics, and practice. The congress is one of the leading industry events in the German healthcare sector, gathering decision-makers from politics, self-governance, the healthcare industry, science, and the start-up scene in Munich.

The Wavelab Incubator at the University of Music and Performing Arts supports startups at the intersection of music, the arts, and media. Similar to our SCE Incubation program, each participating team receives tailored support that is customized to its specific needs and challenges. Through targeted mentoring, a strong network, and engagement with the cultural and tech communities, as wellaspotentialinvestors and future customers, Wavelab supports the teams in successfully developing their ideas.

Are you short on time but eager to actively seek out entrepreneurial, innovative solutions to current challenges? Then SEA:start—an intensive workshop for students and young professionals—is just right for you. In four modules that build on one another, you’ll explore the topic of “social entrepreneurship” in an interactive way, receive a toolkit for starting a business, and develop your own social startup idea as part of an interdisciplinary team!

Would you like to get a taste of the international startup scene, collaborate with talented individuals from Bavaria and Israel, and work on real-world innovation projects at leading companies? Then the Bavaria Israel Partnership Accelerator (BIPA) is the perfect program for you.

From October 12 to December 17, 2026, BIPA will bring together students and young professionals from Bavaria and Israel in interdisciplinary teams to solve technological and entrepreneurial challenges in fields such as AI, smart mobility, medtech, Industry 4.0, and IT security.
