Today, August 8, 2024, TUD Dresden University of Technology (TUD) and Technical University of Munich (TUM) opened the new launchhub42 ComSpace at TUD's Barkhausen Building. The modern modular building provides start-ups with an innovative and creative environment. In the future, it will also be the heart of the 6G-life start-up community, which was founded by both universities to drive forward cutting-edge research for future 6G communication networks.

In her opening speech, Prof. Ursula Staudinger, Rector of TUD, emphasized: "The launchhub42 fits perfectly into the strategy of TUD and its Central Unit TUD|excite to become one of the leading universities in Germany in terms of spin-offs as well as top in terms of patents."

The launchhub42 ComSpace serves as a creative "playground" for novel technologies and concepts inspiring spin-offs. Located in the heart of TU Dresden, it introduces students to the latest technology and promotes the next generation of technology pioneers. It also aims to promote dialog between start-ups, researchers and investors. Founders from the fields of communication, sensor technology and robotics will have the opportunity to present their product and project ideas to a wide audience.

"The start-ups at launchhub42 focus on DeepTech in the field of 6G communication, including robotics, AI and the metaverse," says Prof. Frank Fitzek, holder of the Deutsche Telekom Chair of Communication Networks and spokesperson for the CeTI Cluster of Excellence, describing the main technological topics that users at launchhub24 will focus on. "In this way, we will ensure sustainability and Germany's technological sovereignty in the long term. In the launchhub42 ComSpace, visitors will be able to experience the ideas of tomorrow today –  up close. A showcase of excellent innovations – Made in Germany," adds Prof. Frank Fitzek.

The incubator currently collaborates with 20 start-ups and offers a wide range of resources, including specialized training and unparalleled access to advanced technologies for emerging companies. It features over 100 square meters of meeting room space, office space and demonstration areas, all designed to facilitate collaboration with potential users and partner institutions. By fostering talent and innovation, launchhub42 aims to catalyze the transformation of visionary ideas into real-world solutions, shaping the future of technology.
