Quantum Landing Pad (Munich)
A free soft-landing program helping international quantum companies set up in Munich and Bavaria.
Overview
The Quantum Landing Pad helps international quantum technology companies establish a presence in Munich and Bavaria. It is a collaboration of Invest in Bavaria, Munich Quantum Valley and TUM Venture Lab Quantum / Semicon.
The team supports companies from initial exploration through local legal and tax requirements to moving into office or lab space, and integrates them into the Bavarian quantum ecosystem, including Munich Quantum Valley, the Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology (MCQST) and the Quantum Business Network.
