Why participate?

This challenge offers startups, scaleups, and tech companies direct access to a potential partnership with MTU Aero Engines, Germany´s leading engine manufacturer. Supported by ekipa, the goal is to build sustainable venture client partnerships that help you scale and further develop your solution. 

• Proof of Concept (PoC): During the program selected teams collaborate closely with MTU Aero Engines experts to develop a Proof of Concept – across content, integration, and business model. Depending on the maturity and business fit, a paid pilot can already be launched during this phase. This will be agreed on individually before the phase begins. 
• Venture Client Partnership: Based on the results of the PoC or pilot, MTU Aero Engines and the solution provider define a long-term partnership model – ranging from licensing and integration to joint development or supplier relationships. 
• Joint Scaling: Successful solutions can be scaled across further product groups, use cases, or global sites – supported by MTU Aero Engines’ infrastructure and strategic commitment to long-term innovation. 

This is your opportunity to become a trusted innovation partner to MTU Aero Engines – with a structured process, real budgets, and the potential to grow beyond a single project.
