The best way to anticipate the future isn't to watch it. It's to experiment with it!

Sonceboz is strengthening its international open innovation approach through its collaboration with TUM Venture Labs, focusing on Robotics and Mobility. By engaging startups around concrete industrial use cases, selecting relevant technologies, and accelerating pilot validation, we aim to turn emerging innovations into real industrial opportunities

Recently, Sonceboz took part in the 2026 TUM Entrepreneurship Day in Munich.

This participation reflects our growing collaboration with TUM Venture Labs, an innovation ecosystem powered by Technical University of Munich and UnternehmerTUM, where research, entrepreneurship, and industry converge to accelerate next-generation technologies and give Sonceboz direct access to emerging technologies, deep-tech startups, and industrial collaboration opportunities.

In a rapidly expanding startup ecosystem, the challenge is not access. It is focus.

For Sonceboz, this collaboration strengthens our international open innovation approach, with a particular focus on hashtagRobotics and hashtagMobility: turning promising technologies into real industrial opportunities through collaboration, experimentation, and fast validation.

Concretely, this means:
➡️ engaging startups on specific industrial use cases
➡️ selecting technologies aligned with our core domains
➡️ launching rapid evaluations and early pilot validations

By experimenting earlier and validating faster, we can better identify the technologies that will help you build smarter, more efficient, and more competitive solutions for tomorrow.

A warm thank you to everyone who contributed to bringing this collaboration to life and to the valuable exchanges in Munich and Sonceboz: Lars Eiermann (CSO & CBDO and Managing Director of the Climate / Circular Lab, TUM Venture Labs), Corinna Main (Program Manager, UnternehmerTUM), Negar Shahmoradi (Senior Project Manager, TUM Venture Labs), Patrick Pfaff (Managing Director of the Robotics / AI Lab, TUM Venture Labs), Philippe NICOLAS (CEO, Sonceboz), Gaël Andrieux (CTO, Sonceboz Group), Sébastien Royer (Head of New Business Exploration & Technology, Sonceboz), and Olivier PAJOT (Innovation Cell Manager, Sonceboz).
