Flying High

The Story of Isar Aerospace

Daniel Metzler, Josef Fleischmann and Markus Brandl were already working on a new type of rocket as part of a TUM student research group. The project evolved into the start-up Isar Aerospace, which is working on Germany's first small rocket.

Entrepreneur Thomas Grübler

"I want to make a lasting difference in the world"

Even as a teenager, TUM Alumni Thomas Grübler experimented with soccer-playing robots, designed websites and released his own apps. During his studies at TUM, he discovered his passion for space. Today, his start-up is building satellites that can find forest fires.

Social Entrepreneur Zarah Bruhn

"I want to revolutionize social entrepreneurship"

TUM Alumna Zarah Bruhn had originally wanted to become an investment banker. Now she is a social entrepreneur. With her non-profit company socialbee, she integrates refugees into society in a lasting way. But there is more she has in mind.

Out of University and Straight Into Orbit

On a tour of the company's premises with TUM President Prof. Thomas F. Hofmann, CEO Daniel Metzler and COO Josef Fleischmann discuss the day-to-day challenges they face, what motivates them to make their vision a reality, and how TUM has contributed to it.

TUM Alumni Christoph Dietrich, Nam Truong, Arthur Singer as well as co-founder Martin Sprehe.

"Our aim is to revolutionize the use of energy"

Entrepreneurs Arthur Singer, Christoph Dietrich und Nam Truong

With their start-up, TUM Alumni Arthur Singer, Christoph Dietrich and Nam Truong have developed a groundbreaking technology for the switch to clean energy. TUM played a key role in supporting the founders' team in their endeavor.

Gründer Christian Bruderrek und Mark Kugel

„Wir wollen einen großen Fußabdruck hinterlassen“

Rein zufällig lernten sich die TUM Alumni Christian Bruderrek und Mark Kugel kennen. Ein Glückstreffer für die Forschung in der Schwerelosigkeit. Mit ihrem Start-up sind sie wahre Wegbereiter für Innovationen.

Entrepreneurs Michael Wax and Erik Muttersbach

"We take our responsibility very seriously"

If politicians had the same conviction and uncompromising approach as TUM Alumni Michael Wax and Erik Muttersbach, the ongoing climate crisis would be a thing of the past. With their start-up, they intend to digitize global trade and in the process make it climate-neutral.

Music connects people and cultures!

TUM alumna Xing Ye introduces you here to the sound of the pipa, the plucked shell-necked lute of classical Chinese music.

Alumni Groups

Regional networking works particularly well where alumni are active locally and take on the organisation of alumni meet-ups. In the past the combination of informal get-togethers and one or two special events per year has proven successful.

The latter could be a trip to the theatre or attending a concert together or a guided tour of an alumni’s workplace. Some regional alumni groups meet for social activities, such as fundraising for the construction of a playground, or visiting German or international schools to promote the idea of studying at TUM.

Bund der Freunde

Those alumni registered in your region can be contacted by email via the TUM Community. Let us know if you are interested by sending an email to alumniundcareer@tum.de or set up a group in the Online Community.

Promote an existing Alumni Group:

Make yourself known as the contact person for your local group so that alumni in your area are able to find you. You can also set up a group in the Online Community – the easiest way to communicate with each other.

Let us know your event dates so that we can notify interested alumni in your area.

Bringing a regional alumni network to life:

Your alumni network will be particularly active if you organise regular get-togethers at which members can meet and interact. Or you can go on excursions or participate in Community Events together. Photos and accounts of meetings can be posted in the Online Community. This way other alumni groups can get inspiration from the activities you hosted.

Bund der Freunde der TUM
