AI+Munich
(BMWK, EXIST)
Artificial intelligence has enormous potential to positively shape the economy and society. Used correctly, we can all benefit from systems with artificial intelligence. The partners of the Munich model project AI+Munich have developed a joint AI start-up process to further establish Munich as an AI start-up beacon. In future, they will promote the AI ecosystem in the region, which is embedded in the diverse entrepreneurship activities in Munich as a location for innovation.
AI+Munich aims to increase the number of start-ups in the field of artificial intelligence in the Munich metropolitan region by initiating entrepreneurial projects and scouting existing projects and start-ups and supporting them on their way to the market. It is important to the model project partners to highlight the benefits of AI innovations for society as a whole.

SystemEU (EU, HORIZON)
SYSTEMEU is an EU-funded innovation project that brings together regions in Bavaria, Spain, Romania, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Bulgaria. The aim is to promote sustainable and socially effective innovations through cross-regional cooperation in the fields of health, energy and mobility. With a clear reference to the New European Innovation Agenda, the Green Deal, Horizon Europe and the Partnerships for Regional Innovation (PRI), SYSTEMEU focuses on the exchange of knowledge, the strengthening of regional innovative power and the development of resilient, networked innovation ecosystems.
The partner network of the SFF Cooperativewhich, with 20 European regions, contributes to the Europe-wide impact of the project. Through close cooperation with regional innovation clusters, companies, research institutions, start-ups and public stakeholders, the aim is to create long-term, resilient innovation ecosystems that combine technological progress with social benefits.
CoCreate2Innovate (EIT Urban Mobility)
CoCreate2Innovate is a pioneering initiative funded by EIT Urban Mobility that aims to foster a dynamic ecosystem of co-creation by providing comprehensive training and support to key innovation actors. The program is aimed at start-ups, corporates, innovation managers from public institutions and business consultants working in university and private incubators and accelerators.
With a strong focus on the smart mobility sector, CoCreate2Innovate provides participants with the entrepreneurial skills and methodologies they need to run B2B and B2G innovation projects that effectively address customer and societal challenges. By strengthening the capacity of incubators, spin-offs and innovation-driven organizations, the project enables the development of sustainable solutions that have a significant impact.
The initiative, which is being implemented in Germany, Italy and Bulgaria, is led by the Strascheg Center for Entrepreneurship (Germany), the University of Pisa (Italy) and The Edge (Bulgaria). The aim of the collaboration is to build a network of co-creation champions. Through hands-on learning and collaboration, CoCreate2Innovate accelerates innovation, promotes sustainable business growth and delivers real-life pilot projects that drive the industry forward.
SFF Mobility Track (EIT Urban Mobility)
The SFF Mobility Track funding line is now part of the Match & Start pre-incubation program from Start for Future (SFF). This track specifically addresses teams that are pursuing an early-stage idea in the field of mobility and would like to develop it further. The selection is made in close cooperation with EIT Urban Mobility, which provides the participating teams with targeted support and guidance.
As part of the program, the teams benefit from the support of experienced business coaches as well as practical input sessions with industry experts from the mobility sector from EIT Urban Mobility. The focus is on validating the business idea, building a viable business model and targeted preparation for the next development phase.
