Munich’s climate tech ecosystem is gaining serious momentum—and to celebrate Bits & Pretzels, AENU is launching its first-ever climate tech city map, starting with Munich.
Why Munich?
Munich has become a central hub for climate tech, combining entrepreneurial drive with deep tech expertise. The city now supports a full spectrum of companies, from pre-seed startups to mature scale-ups.
Ecosystem Highlights
- 50+ early-stage startups
Over fifty climate tech companies at pre-seed and seed stage signal a rapidly expanding and dynamic ecosystem.
- Scaling success stories
Nearly two dozen companies have already reached Series B or beyond, including:
- tado°
- Capmo
- IntegrityNext
- TWAICE
- everdrop
- Lilium
These companies showcase Munich’s ability not just to launch, but to scale climate tech ventures.
- Energy leads, mobility scales
Energy-focused startups dominate founder activity across all funding stages. At the same time, transportation and mobility boast many of the city’s scale-ups, such as:
- ChargeX
- Sono Motors
- Qwello
- The Mobility House
- Diverse innovation & lifestyle
Climate tech in Munich isn’t limited to infrastructure and software. Startups like Planet A Foods bring sustainable food innovation into the mix, reflecting the ecosystem’s breadth and creativity.
- New entrants & breakthrough bets
- Zählerfreunde joins the map as the newest energy startup.
- Marvel Fusion, working on breakthrough energy technologies, just closed a major funding round, underlining investor confidence in Munich’s deep tech potential.
- Strategic backbone: TUM
The Technical University of Munich (TUM) and its startup programs are core to the city’s innovation engine, continuously spinning out new ventures and reinforcing Munich’s position as one of Germany’s leading innovation hubs.
As investors in Munich-based OCELL and Entrix, AENU is proud to back the city’s climate tech founders and help accelerate their impact.
