A vital success factor for IZB start-ups is the close proximity of both locations to cutting-edge research. Adjacent to the IZB on the Martinsried/Großhadern campus, you‘ll find, among others, two Max Planck Institutes, faculties, and facilities of LMU, as well as the University Hospital of Munich-Großhadern. IZB fosters and supports this strong
network through various measures: The Faculty Club offers
an exceptional venue for founders and scientists to exchange
ideas and know-how. With an array of event formats like the
IZBrunch and the Munich Life Science Pitch Day, IZB has
established itself as a key meeting point in the industry, extending far beyond Munich.

Weihenstephan Campus


The Freising-Weihenstephan location has estab­lished itself as a competence cluster for Life ­Sciences ­in Europe. The internationally recognized research centers and TUM research campus provide an outstanding platform for cooperations that will lead to promising spin-offs in the future.

The IZB network


A tight network enhances a location’s value. Collaboration, smart partnerships, skilled talent, and close info-sharing are key for success.
