Participants receive numerous coaching sessions and workshops covering business model development, leadership development, and business & tech. In addition, founders benefit from the networks of the BMW Foundation and UnternehmerTUM through the Respond Accelerator. At the conclusion of the program, startups can present themselves to an international group of investors, industry representatives, and media representatives.
