TUMCSE – TUM Club for Sustainable Entrepreneurship
History
TUM Club for Sustainable Entrepreneurship is a community and student initiative born in TUM Campus Straubing in June 2022 to connect students in our campus to entrepreneurship events in the Munich ecosystem. In December 2022, determined to make Straubing more active on entrepreneurship, a group of 15 people decided to become proactive creators of opportunities. TUM Club for Sustainable Entrepreneurship currently reaches more than 250 students.

What we do
Touchbase Meetings
The Touchbase meetings are biweekly meetups, where we discuss new technologies, emerging startups and interesting topics in general. The sessions are designed to be independent from each other to allow everyone to join at any time. This is the place you want to be if you want to meet us and all the other people interested in sustainable entrepreneurship on campus.
Startup Interviews
The TUMCSE Startup Interviews is a ongoing format where our team members get to know interesting entrepreneurs in the sustainability field. For our first season we interviewed the co-founders of Phelas, start-up in the energy storage sector, and Bavertis, startup in the battery technology sector. Our next season is on the planning stage.
