AI+MUNICH
for Startups

AI+MUNICH supports talents and startups in Bavaria that have not yet secured financial backing, with up to € 25k.

We provide entrepreneurial AI projects with the financial means for the further development of a business idea, such as an AI specialist scholarship, an expert consultation, an expert pool or classic prototype funding.

We support early-phase as well as late-phase teams. It is a plus if you have diverse knowledge and experience in your team or if you have already participated in AI-related competitions and won prizes.

If you contribute to innovation density in AI in Bavaria, whether you’re a startup, a talent, an established corporation, or an institution, get in touch. Together we’ll build on Munich's blooming AI ecosystem.
