Exciting, right? But with this master’s programme, you will go beyond academics as you embark on an exciting journey in innovation and business alongside your master’s programme, unlocking a realm of unique possibilities in the energy sector. 

Elevate your skills with our MBA-level training, empowering you with tools for venture creation, investor pitches, fostering creative thinking, embracing ambiguity, and harnessing digital advancements like data science, machine learning, and blockchain technologies specifically tailored for the energy industry. 

Master’s in Advanced Energy Systems and AI students take part in a blended training designed together with UnternehmerTUM (start-up accelerator of TU Munich), a leader in innovation and business creation.  This journey connects students with the network of start-ups from TU Munich, placing them at the heart of Germany’s Energiewende. The training includes: 

• Winter School in Munich 
• Online Spring School 
• One-day pitching competition (pre-Master School Connect) 
• One-week summer school in Munich with trainers, speakers and members of UnternehmerTUM’s start-up ecosystem 

Students also get immersed in the Munich entrepreneurship ecosystem, benefiting from workshops on innovation, self-leadership and guest lectures by successful entrepreneurs and corporate executives. They also gain access to the MarkerSpace and its prototyping facilities.  

Finally, students are onboarded into UTUM’s unique entrepreneurial community in the Munich ecosystem with +8000 innovators, future thinkers, and entrepreneurial talents who are all alumni of UTUM programmes.  

In your second year, dive into an exciting research project focusing on electrical or thermo-mechanical energy, or explore the technical-economic aspects of energy for your Master’s thesis. This is your chance to put your knowledge and skills into action, integrating what you’ve learned throughout the programme. As you immerse yourself in your thesis, you’ll gain invaluable experience and insights, honing your expertise and making a tangible impact in the field of energy innovation. Plus, every year, the programme team and the directors of InnoEnergy Benelux award prizes for the most outstanding theses on innovation and entrepreneurship. Seize this opportunity to showcase your creativity and entrepreneurial spirit, and be recognised for your groundbreaking contributions to the energy sector.
