Success for innovation ecosystem in aerospace
TUM spin-off launches first rocket
Isar Aerospace, a spin-off of the Technical University of Munich (TUM), has conducted the first test flight of its rocket - and thus also the first launch of a carrier rocket designed to transport loads into orbit from Western Europe. In future, the system will be used to launch small and medium-sized satellites into space, which are crucial for numerous emerging technologies. The founding of the start-up by three graduates was intensively supported at TUM.

Battery start-up incubator launches at TUM
To strengthen Germany's technological sovereignty in the field of battery technologies, the Battery Start-up Incubator (BaStI) is being established at TUM. Funded with 3.3 million euros by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), BaStl, as an integral part of the TUM Venture Labs, will support and advise start-up applicants from all over Germany in the first phase. The aim is to accelerate the market entry of new battery technologies from research and thus reduce dependence on imports.
