• Not just nascent, but scaling: Nearly two dozen companies have already reached Series B or beyond, including tado°, Capmo, IntegrityNext, TWAICE, everdrop, and Lilium, illustrating Munich’s ability to scale climate tech ventures.
• Energy sector dominance: Munich founders are particularly active in energy solutions, with startups represented across all funding stages. Meanwhile, the transportation sector stands out with the most scale-ups, such as ChargeX, Sono Motors, Qwello, and The Mobility House.
• A taste of innovation and lifestyle: Alongside tech-focused companies, startups like Planet A Foods bring an added layer of creativity with their sustainable food solutions, showcasing the diversity of the ecosystem.
• Exciting new entrants: Zählerfreunde joins as the latest energy startup on the map, while Marvel Fusion—working on breakthrough energy solutions—closed a major funding round just yesterday.
• Strategic support: The Technical University of Munich (TUM) and its various startup programs play a pivotal role in driving innovation and expanding the city’s role as one of Germany’s leading innovation hubs.
