UnternehmerTUM, Microsoft, Infineon and NVIDIA launch Physical AI Growth Lab for EMEA startups

The initiative aims to bridge the gap between simulation and real-world deployment, leveraging Europe’s growing physical AI market share, which is projected to reach 22.5% of the global market in 2026. Backed by regulatory clarity under the EU AI Act and Germany’s High-Tech Strategy 2025, the program seeks to position EMEA as a leader in physical AI innovation. UnternehmerTUM, ranked Europe’s top startup hub for three consecutive years, has helped launch companies like Sereact, RobCo, and Sewts, which collectively have raised nearly 4 billion EUR in funding. Applications are open until November 13, 2026.
