Stefan Dr\u00fcssler is one of Europe\u2019s most influential innovation leaders. He heads UnternehmerTUM<\/a>, the Center for Innovation and Business Creation at the Technical University of Munich<\/a> \u2013 the largest start-up and innovation hub in Europe. With more than 500 people working there, the centre helps bring scientific ideas from the lab to the market.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cDon\u2019t try to turn engineers into entrepreneurs \u2013 just help them\u00a0 fulfill their dreams,\u201d said Dr\u00fcssler, stressing that entrepreneurship should not be a forced or secondary goal, but rather a natural part of the creative process. According to him, engineers are driven by the desire to build, improve, and create something meaningful. They don\u2019t go to university to study business models but to build, experiment, and solve technical problems. What\u2019s important is to support them in bringing their ideas to life and show them how it can be done. That\u2019s when an entrepreneurial mindset begins to emerge.<\/p>\r\n

He cited the example of space start-up Isar Aerospace<\/a>, which grew out of exactly this kind of hands-on approach. \u201cThese young people weren\u2019t thinking about how to write a business plan \u2013 they wanted to build rockets. Our role was simply to support that journey,\u201d Dr\u00fcssler recalled. Today, Isar Aerospace collaborates with the European Space Agency<\/a> and is considered one of Europe\u2019s deep tech success stories.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Europe has science, but lacks companies<\/h4>\r\n

According to Dr\u00fcssler, Europe has strong scientific potential, but too often that science doesn\u2019t make it out of the lab. \u201cThis is a serious problem,\u201d he said bluntly, noting that while European research is world-class, the results too rarely reach the market, and the creation of new companies progresses slowly \u2014 leading to a noticeable development gap between Europe and the United States.<\/p>\r\n

Nonetheless, there are encouraging examples across Europe. In Germany last year, nearly seven billion euros were invested in companies, about a third of which went to start-ups that emerged from the TUM and UnternehmerTUM ecosystem. Dr\u00fcssler sees this as a lasting and significant trend, demonstrating that science-based business has become a stable and sustainable part of the German economy.<\/p>\r\n

In his view, true innovation can only flourish within a comprehensive ecosystem that integrates science, enterprise, capital, and the public sector. \u201cUniversities shouldn\u2019t see each other as competitors, but as partners. When Europe has strong research universities, the entire continent benefits.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

To accelerate the development of new ventures, Dr\u00fcssler believes it is essential to involve venture capital and make investment processes faster and more flexible. Since the market doesn\u2019t always move at the required pace, UnternehmerTUM decided to create its own investment company to directly support the growth of promising start-ups.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

When real life meets the university<\/h4>\r\n

The UnternehmerTUM model is built on practical collaboration between companies and students. Based on this approach, innovation workshops and hackathons are organised that bring real industry challenges to the classroom, tasking students with developing quick, workable solutions. \u201cWhen students get to tackle a real-world problem, their motivation completely changes,\u201d said Dr\u00fcssler. According to one student, it was the best experience of their studies so far \u2014 it was the first time they truly saw how what they\u2019d learned worked in real life.<\/p>\r\n

Dr\u00fcssler noted that the results of such collaborations often produce surprisingly strong outcomes. In one case, a partner company asked students to come up with a way to make their high-temperature furnaces more modular. No one expected that, within just a few days, the students would deliver solutions that exceeded all expectations. \u201cThe executives asked: how is it possible that students achieved in three days what we\u2019ve been struggling with for over a year?\u201d But anything is possible when the focus is sharp and the goal is to solve a specific problem within a set timeframe.<\/p>\r\n

These collaborations also give companies a chance to test new technologies and learn rapid prototyping \u2014 a skill Dr\u00fcssler says is essential for anyone looking to move ideas from the lab to the market. \u201cIt\u2019s also the best way to find future colleagues. If you\u2019ve spent five days working shoulder to shoulder with students in the same room, by the end you\u2019ll know exactly who you\u2019d want to take on real-world projects with.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Collaboration doesn\u2019t happen overnight<\/h4>\r\n

But how can companies be encouraged to work more closely with universities? According to Dr\u00fcssler, collaboration doesn\u2019t appear overnight. Companies are often sceptical at first, but they can be convinced through small steps and successful examples. When one collaboration succeeds, it can pave the way for the next. \u201cIt takes persistent work. Companies need to be consistently involved, shown results, and convinced that students can truly create value.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

At the end of his presentation, Dr\u00fcssler emphasised that Europe\u2019s success depends on how well we can turn scientific knowledge into real-world business \u2013 and from there into new industries. The issue in Europe is not a lack of ideas or research, but a lack of systems that help turn ideas into reality and apply scientific insights in practice. For that, strong collaboration networks and support structures that promote development are needed \u2013 something no single country or organisation can build alone.<\/p>\r\n

He sees the partnership between the university and TUM as a step in the right direction. \u201cThe more universities, companies, and governments work together, the faster Europe will move forward. None of us is too small to make a difference \u2013 but we are too small to do it alone.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
