What Europe Can Learn from Asia
Notas del episodio
Helmut Schönenberger, co-founder & CEO, UnternehmerTUM
Key points:
- Turning strong academic research into companies that actually scale requires more than world-class science - it takes a deliberately built university venture ecosystem
- Munich and Singapore support founders and commercialise deep tech in notably different ways, and each has lessons to offer the other
- Singapore's model of connecting universities, government, investors and industry offers practices European ecosystems could adopt
- Europe's strengths in engineering, industrial technology and long-term research are assets that Asian innovation hubs can learn from - the exchange runs both ways
- Helping European DeepTech companies expand into Asia is a concrete role universities and innovation centres should own, from talent bridges to market access
