Munich Startup AdVenture

A unique growth experience with one of UQ's flagship global strategic partners, the Technical University of Munich (TUM).

The TUM Startup AdVenture Pilot Program is an exclusive entrepreneurship experience for UQ student founders looking to accelerate their own startups within one of Europe’s leading innovation ecosystems.

Delivered in collaboration with the Technical University of Munich (TUM) , one of Europe’s most successful start-up universities, the program provides student founders with an immersive opportunity to grow their own ventures, build global networks, and strengthen founder capabilities through hands-on learning in Munich’s startup scene.

Together with  UnternehmerTUM (TUM’s associated institute for innovation and business creation) participants will gain access to a vibrant founder community, industry experts, venture labs, and mentorship.

Please note this program is a pilot initiative. The structure and activities outlined may be refined or adjusted at short notice.

The TUM Startup AdVenture Pilot Program is designed for student founders who want to grow their own, existing startups. The key difference to our other Startup AdVentures are:

  • Participating students must be student founders, actively building a startup that has demonstrated traction.
  • The focus of the TUM Pilot program is to accelerate the development of the student's own startup (as opposed to completing a placement in someone else's startup).

Learn more about eligibility, course credit, and program details from the Startup AdVentures program homepage.

The TUM Startup AdVenture Pilot Program will run from Sunday 21 June to Saturday 18 July 2026 (dates to be confirmed).

Applications open Friday 27 March and close 4pm, Tuesday 7 April 2026.
