Last night three teams were honored with the TUM IdeAward for their technology-based start-up ideas. They respectively developed a rotating chemical reactor for use in the pharmaceuticals industry and water treatment, a technology platform for sustainable production of yeast oil and a cost-efficient surgical navigation system.
