Automobile manufacturer supports expansion of Entrepreneurship
Centre at Technical University Munich (TUM)

 

Munich. The BMW Group and UnternehmerTUM, the Centre for Innovation and Business Creation at Technical University Munich, are stepping up their cooperation. The automobile manufacturer will support UnternehmerTUM with the expansion of its Entrepreneurship Centre at the research campus in Garching, just outside of Munich. The project will involve bringing Silicon Valley-based TechShop to Germany to continue its success story as an innovation company.

 

In addition to the training and consulting services already on offer, the centre will provide 1,800 square metres of high-tech workshop infrastructure, comprising machines, tools and software for prototype construction and small-series production. The facility in Munich-Garching will be the first workshop operated by TechShop in Germany.

 

The new high-tech workshop will be open to the public, targeting, in particular, creative types, business founders, start-ups and employees of the BMW Group and other companies. The Entrepreneurship Centre’s unique offering is geared towards both the national and international innovation and entrepreneurial scene, and aims to provide significant impetus for Bavaria’s economy and innovative power. This should further reinforce Munich’s position as a high-tech location and strengthen the local network of city, universities, start-ups, companies and local creative scene.

 

The cooperation with the BMW Group is designed to provide business founders with access to first-rate know-how. In return, the BMW Group expects the project to bring it closer to ground-breaking innovations. Innovations initiated by BMW Group employees will also be promoted, with the workshop available to employees for prototype construction.

 

The BMW Group and UnternehmerTUM have collaborated for more than ten years on a large number of innovation projects and, together, have supported outstanding, innovative start-ups in the formation of their business.

CO2 emission information.

Fuel consumption, CO2 emission figures and power consumption and range were measured using the methods required according to Regulation VO (EC) 2007/715 as amended. They refer to vehicles on the German automotive market. For ranges, the NEDC figures take into account differences in the selected wheel and tyre size, while the WLTP figures take into account the effects of any optional equipment.

All figures have already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. NEDC figures listed have been adjusted to the NEDC measurement method where applicable. WLTP values are used as a basis for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions and, where applicable, for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies. Further information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures is also available at www.bmw.de/wltp.

For further details of the official fuel consumption figures and official specific CO2 emissions of new cars, please refer to the “Manual on the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new cars”, available at sales outlets free of charge, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
