Bavaria Israel Partnership Accelerator (BIPA) closes 12th edition

Go back

On June 18th, we celebrated the conclusion of the 12th edition of our Bavaria Israel Partnership Accelerator (BIPA). Students from Bavaria and Israel, with the help of their experienced mentors, worked on challenges posed by five Bavarian corporate and public partners, and developed solutions that will have a lasting impact. With the support of experienced German and Israeli mentors, the participants developed solutions that only international and interdisciplinary teams could come up with.

The Teams worked on challenges such as modernising an airport, creating a deeper connection between cities, making it safer to work in forests and more. The programme kicked off with a workshop in Munich in April and the final event brought two-months of virtual work to a close. The teams presented their solution and shared their experience of working on an innovation challenge.

"BIPA creates both innovative solutions for the company challenges as well as friendships between the participants. Once you have worked together in such an intense way, you form long-lasting connections. " - Morten Edzards, Program Director of BIPA.

This is all possible thanks to the great partnership between the Strascheg Center for Entrepreneurship at the Hochschule München, the Ostbayerische Technische Hochschule Regensburg, and Tech7 - Negev Innovation in Israel.

This year we had five great corporate and public partners giving challenges to our teams: 

  • Flughafen München GmbH,
  • the Department of Labor and Economic Development of the City of Munich,
  • the IT Department of the City of Munich,
  • Landkreis Regensburg, and the
  • rBITech GmbH.

This program is made possible by the Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Wirtschaft, Landesentwicklung und Energie, the Israeli Consulate General and the Landeshauptstadt München. Thank you for all your continuous support!

We wish the best of luck to all of the BIPA #12 participants and company partners and welcome them to the BIPA alumni community!
