20.08.2025

 

TUMCREATE, the research institute of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in Singapore, is dedicated to translating academic research into applications and impactful solutions. 

Together with Turion Labs and Blue InCube, our new innovation partners, we are all fired up to kick off exciting activities and exchanges with them. We join forces to accelerate the mission of turning research into real-world impact – with TUM’s deep-tech DNA at its core! 

These collaborations will help us bridge the gap between lab research and its adaptation in society across the depth and breadth of the TUMCREATE research teams. 

Reflecting on the partnerships, Dr Stefan Klade, Chief Operating Officer and Director Research & Innovation at TUMCREATE, emphasised the value of working with trusted collaborators: “We are proud to link up to the experienced team of passionate experts at Turion Labs and Blue InCube! I genuinely look forward to identifying promising collaborative projects that add even more impact to our research.” 

As an entrepreneurial university, TUM is recognised to be a global leader in creating sustainable innovation. The British magazine Times Higher Education’s 2025 University Impact Ranking repeatedly placed TUM top in the area of industry, innovation and infrastructure.

"This is just the beginning. We're excited about the possibilities of combining TUM and TUMCREATE's research excellence and Blue InCube's venture- building expertise with support from our industry networks and Enterprise Singapore. We're excited to see what emerges from this German- Singapore partnership," said CL Goh, Managing Partner at Blue InCube. 

“Turion Labs was recently established to enable global deeptech innovators to access and thrive in South East Asia, starting with Health and Medical Sciences and in South East Asia's largest single-entry market, Indonesia. We strongly believe that our partnership with TUMCREATE, which has become a shining beacon for deeptech research and innovation between Europe and Asia, will allow both entities to synergise our collective efforts for research outcomes to become meaningful and impactful outcomes that will benefit society as a whole,” said Alvin Ng, Director at Turion Labs.
