And this is precisely where UVC can use its unique advantage – the close partnership with UnternehmerTUM, Europe’s largest innovation and startup centre at the TU Munich. With 150 corporate partners and more than 5000 students, UnternehmerTUM forms an important nucleus for Europe’s next generation of entrepreneurs.

Johannes von Borries is absolutely convinced of the third fund’s high growth potential as well: “The deal flow in our sectors has been rising continuously and strongly for years.
