As an entrepreneurial university, the Technical University of Munich encourages its scientists to be proactive in founding companies. In particular, research results in mathematics have frequently provided the basis for successful spin-offs.
"Many startups here at TUM and other places show that the results of research in mathematics, for example in data science, finance or control, are of significant practical, economic use. As the department's start-up ambassador, I am actively promoting the start-up culture at TUM, and encourage all those who are interested within the Department of Mathematics and beyond to seize upon the diverse offers of support available at TUM."
Prof. Fabian Theis
