Further cooperation

COOPERATIONS WITH ACADEMIC AND INSTITUTIONAL PARTNERS

The LMU EC acts as a university-wide center for entrepreneurship and is a leading force in the entrepreneurship community of the Munich region. The LMU EC cooperates with numerous academic, public and entrepreneurial organizations locally, nationally and internationally.

Academic partners include the Collège des Ingénieurs (CDI, Paris-Stuttgart), the Bayerische EliteAkademie (BEA, Munich), the Center for Digital Technology and Management (CDTM, Munich), as well as other entrepreneurship centers in the Munich region and beyond.

Our institutional partners include the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology which supports the LMU EC within its EXIST III program. The LMU EC is also a member of the Existenzgründerpakt Bayern (Bavarian Start-up Pact) and of the GründerRegio M network. The LMU EC also cooperates with the BfE (Büro für Existenzgründung, Munich) by supporting unemployed individuals who seek to set up their own small businesses.

COOPERATION WITH THE LMU TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OFFICE

The LMU Technology Transfer Office (KFT) offers a wide variety of support to LMU students, graduates, researchers and professors, including counseling on financial and legal matters as well as on issues related to inventions and patenting.

The LMU Entrepreneurship Center works particularly close with the LMU Spin-off Service , the division of the KFT advising university students and scientists intending to start a company.

The LMU Spin-off Service has regular contacts with university researchers and is involved in the Munich Business Plan Competition (MBPW). Its long-term experience with German grant programs for young entrepreneurs (e.g., “EXIST-Gründerstipendium” or “Flügge-Programm”) make the LMU Spin-off Service an essential partner of the LMU Entrepreneurship Center.

Thanks to the successful cooperation, several teams supported by the LMU Spin-off Service have been able to become LMU EC Lab teams and a significant number of them subsequently received government financing to support their project.
