About

AI+MUNICH

AI+MUNICH is a deep-tech model project to promote AI startups in the Munich region and throughout Bavaria, supported and funded by the BMWK. In addition to the SCE, the project is driven by the two Munich universities HM and TUM with the associated startup center UnternehmerTUM and the ecosystem integrator MUC SUMMIT. The goal is to establish the Munich region as a national and international AI startup beacon. We place special emphasis on the positive social impact of the AI projects in order to positively anchor the future technology AI in society.

If you are an AI expert and would like to join a start-up or if you have a first business idea related to AI, please contact our SCE project managers.

Our constantly growing Munich AI community offers you the ideal ecosystem to exchange ideas and learn from each other with other potential founders, AI players already successful on the market, AI experts and our partner network. Workshops and networking events make it easy for you to dive into this network and benefit from it.
