The LMU Innovation Incubator is a three-month early-stage startup program for teams of researchers, current and former students, and employees. The incubator offers the opportunity to explore and validate ideas for impactful innovations at the intersection of academia, science and business. As part of the program, participants have the chance to find co-founders and early investors as well as become part of the IEC startup community.
In three innovation lab rounds in October, November and December, potential founders learn in various workshop modules how to transform their research into an innovative enterprise. They also participate in tailor-made consulting and individual coaching sessions.
