Startups

Our research group actively supports entrepreneurs with innovative business ideas in the fields of games, gamification, or extended reality (XR) on their journey toward self-employment.

In addition, our teaching encourages students to develop ideas and prototypes for novel game-based and gamification approaches. We also assist with building connections to key stakeholders in the Bavarian gaming industry.

We welcome inquiries – whether you're applying for a startup grant, developing a business model or business plan, or evaluating a product idea.
