BUILT ENVIRONMENT
The construction and real estate industry is facing profound change: climate targets, resource scarcity, skilled-labor shortages, growing regulatory requirements, and the industry's digital lag are increasing the pressure to innovate along the entire value chain. UnternehmerTUM addresses these challenges with an innovation platform for the future of building, planning, and operating buildings and infrastructure.
We connect companies from construction, real estate, planning, materials, machinery, financing, PropTech, ConTech, and software with startups, talents, and research. Together, we develop solutions for more sustainable buildings, more efficient processes, and new business models — from ESG and the circular economy to BIM, AI, and automation, through to industrial construction and resource-efficient materials. UnternehmerTUM supports partners from strategic orientation through to the implementation of concrete innovation projects, making transformation tangible in a complex industry.
Audience: business clients from the construction industry and the entire built environment value chain
Duration: initially one year but extension is possible
Format: partnership
