[X] Biokitchen

A Life Science Laboratory for Everyone

UnternehmerTUM [x] was founded in late 2016 with the goal to combine AI, Robotics and Synthetic Biology and create deep tech startups at those intersections.
To provide innovative startups with a lab to take up their research in, we opened Germany’s first open S1 biotech lab – the [x] Biokitchen.

The Biokitchen was planned in early 2018, build with a team of 20 people within a week in April and opened to the public in May 2018.

The Challenge: Create Germany’s first open biolab for startups to develop their early biological and chemical prototypes.

These drawings were all the plans we had prepared when we set out to complete our challenge. Beyond that, we had 20 people, plenty of raw materials and many ideas.

Sprint

In just one week, our joint SLA-Sepiatec team, supported by specialist trades, completed over 320 tasks and more than 600 work hours to bring the new facility fully online without production downtime.

We installed the ventilation system, utilities, floor extraction, and a service wing, while also building custom showroom furniture in Sepiatec’s corporate design.

CEO Waldner Labs, 2018

During these six days, my team and I experienced a whole new approach to product development. We were impressed how we could create real innovation within days – by combining the experience of our employees with interdisciplinary experts from other fields and new working methods.

Don’t wait, just do it. We learned a lot during this project with UnternehmerTUM[x] and incorporated this spirit in our processes, especially in product development. Today, we develop new products often together with our customers within months
