The TUM Asian Venture Programme Pitch Clinic brings together promising start-ups, experienced voices from Singapore’s innovation ecosystem, and members of our wider community for an evening of ideas, insights, and exchange. As part of this year’s TIE² (TUM Tsinghua International Innovation & Entrepreneurship Exchange) programme, seven startups – six from Munich and one from Tsinghua – will have the opportunity to present their business ideas in a supportive and constructive setting. An expert panel of three representatives from Singapore’s startup ecosystem will provide targeted feedback, practical insights, and perspectives on entering and growing in the region. Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear first-hand from emerging high-tech ventures and gain insights into the opportunities and considerations of expanding into Asian markets. TIE² offers TUM high-tech start-ups at the seed stage a unique opportunity to explore two of Asia’s key innovation ecosystems: China and Singapore. China is a global hub for innovation and manufacturing, while Singapore serves as an international gateway to the broader ASEAN region. Through the programme, participating start-ups can explore market opportunities and build valuable connections with potential suppliers, partners, and customers.

Since 2023, TFoodS has become a valued platform for bringing together voices from research, industry and policy to exchange ideas, build connections and explore the future of food.

To support the continued growth of TFoodS, the 2026 edition will be ticketed, bringing together a thoughtfully curated community and a high-quality programme designed to strengthen connections across the ecosystem.
