BPI renews Partnership with UnternehmerTUM and XPRENEURS

24 April 2024

This renewal of the partnership in 2024 brings exciting opportunities for both BPI and the entrepreneurial ecosystem at UnternehmerTUM.

Burda Principal Investments (BPI) is proud to continue our long-standing partnership with UnternehmerTUM and the XPRENEURS incubator program this year as they expand their Investor Network. The collaboration we have built with UnternehmerTUM and the XPRENEURS network over the years, underscores our commitment to fostering innovation and supporting emerging tech talent within Germany’s robust entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Strengthening collaboration through UnternehmerTUM Investor Network

Since the inception of BPI, we have valued a close relationship with the wider network around UnternehmerTUM which has now grown and developed over time to be significant for all parties involved. The partnership has given us unique insights, enabling us to build knowledge and understanding around some particular technical sectors as well as connect with impressive start-up teams and individuals. As active participants in the XPRENEURS network, we have also played a crucial role in mentoring these start-ups, sharing our in-house expertise (around deal and investment dynamics, ESG or media), and facilitating access to resources that we believe drive long-term success. The longevity of this collaboration and support has allowed a deeper level of engagement and amplified the impactful interactions between us and the start-up community.

The renewal of this partnership in 2024 brings exciting opportunities for both BPI and the entrepreneurial ecosystem at UnternehmerTUM. By being part of the newly launched UnternehmerTUM Investor Network (UIN), BPI will benefit from an exclusive platform designed to enhance our deal flow and provide early access to top-tier start-up teams. Among other initiatives, participating in high-profile networking events like XCONNECT and the UnternehmerTUM Demo Days allows us to connect with these innovative ventures and share expertise in the local start-up scene.

 

Looking ahead: Shaping innovation together

Our renewed partnership with UnternehmerTUM and XPRENEURS comes at a time when Munich’s standing in the global start-up landscape has gained a very high profile. UnternehmerTUM in particular boasts several very successful start-up stories such as FlixMobility and Isar Aerospace. We are excited to continue supporting entrepreneurial ventures and contributing to the vibrant start-up community, paving the way for more groundbreaking advancements and success stories.
