The building aims to attract startups, bright minds, innovative companies and science from around the world in order to find answers to urban challenges together. Users benefit from UnternehmerTUM’s many expertise in creating start-ups, access to city management, direct exchange with experts from technology and business, venture capital firms, and dialogue with citizens.

At Colab, future topics relevant to smart cities such as construction, climate protection, sustainability or mobility are addressed through initiatives from UnternehmerTUM, the state capital and Technical University of Munich. The state capital provides users with unique access to the entire city family and other affiliates.

In order to meet its ambitious goals, the Munich Urban Collab is part of the European Union Commission’s new European Bauhaus initiative.
