Start-ups from Saxony: TU Chemnitz attracts with 900,000 euros in funding!

Chemnitz, Deutschland - A new competition is waiting for Sachsian founders! The Technical University of Chemnitz has a stately budget of 900,000 euros that burns on being invested in innovative business ideas. The special focus is on young companies whose foundation is not older than twelve months. This initiative should not only arouse the start-up spirit, but also strengthen the link between science and business, such as Radio Chemnitz

The application deadline for the Tucab competition ends on August 31, 2025. During this period, founders have the opportunity to submit their innovative ideas. The business projects must fit one of the three core competencies of the TU Chemnitz: intelligent materials and systems, resource -efficient production and lightweight construction as well as people and technology. The finalists will be determined by October 6th, with the best three teams being able to present their business ideas on October 24th at the Pitch Day in Chemnitz.

Support for start-ups

The support is not only financial in nature. The Sächsische Beteiligungsgesellschaft mbH (SBG) provides up to 300,000 euros in the form of participation capital. But that is only the tip of the iceberg: the participants also benefit from an extensive infrastructure of the Chemnitz University of Technology and have access to a far -reaching network of experts and mentors that has existed since 2018 to promote new entrepreneurs.

In addition, the Press release from the TU Chemnitz helped to evaluate the submitted concepts by a specialist jury. The innovation content, economic aspects, strategic orientation, sustainability and regionality are the focus of the assessment. So if you have a feel for fresh, marketable ideas, you are in the right place.

funding landscape in Saxony

But not only the TU Chemnitz holds the scepter in the hand. Saxony also has a lot to offer apart from this competition, as the Sächsische Abaubaubank emphasizes. It supports founders in the start phase, in market launch or market growth. There are numerous funding programs, including the Sachsen loan Universal and the Innostart Bonus, which are specially tailored to the needs of start-ups and their development.
