The first activities were already initiated in May of this year, when seven teams from Technische Universität München worked at Tsinghua x-lab in Beijing together with seven teams from Tsinghua University on products, the development of business models, and market-entry strategies for the relevant countries. The teams were also granted access to Chinese industrial firms and entrepreneurs. In October the same seven Chinese Tsinghua x-lab teams will be the guests of UnternehmerTUM in Munich. This approach to cooperation between high-tech start-ups from two of the leading entrepreneurship centers is so far unique.
