THINK.MAKE.START. has taken us from the idea to the first prototype. Because we had so much fun we just continued with the make-a-thon for nine months. At present, we have a solid financing, over ten student employees, numerous renowned pilot clients and won several awards.

I have expected cardboard prototypes, instead you have created final products and a beautiful, finished laboratory!

The hackdays are extremely important to FC Bayern as pointed out by Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, chairman of FC Bayern: 'They are the ignition of our endeavours to become one of the global leaders digitizing football'.

The best workshop at TU Munich. The combination of profound university knowledge, entrepreneurship, and immediate access to the high-tech workshop enables manifold possibilities. I encourage everyone to participate in Think.Make.Start.
