Incubator Teams
Our Start-ups of Tomorrow!
At Funkenwerk, we help students at the Augsburg University of Applied Sciences turn their ideas into real projects.
Here, you’ll meet students from Augsburg University of Applied Sciences who don’t just keep their ideas in their heads—they actually bring them to life at Funkenwerk. In the incubator program, teams from various academic programs further develop their startup ideas—from the first sketch to their own startup. They show what’s possible when curiosity, a can-do attitude, and team spirit come together.
Let their projects inspire you, get to know the people behind the ideas, and discover how an idea becomes a reality, step by step. Maybe you’ll even find the inspiration for your own project here.

Numerifox
A New Approach to Learning Math
Math is one of the subjects in which many students need help. At the same time, traditional tutoring is often expensive, inflexible, and tied to specific locations and times. That’s why Mava is developing a digital learning platform that teaches math in a way that’s easy to understand, interactive, and motivating. The goal is to make learning easier, more effective, and frustration-free.
“Our vision is to help students learn math in a playful, effective, and frustration-free way.”

These are all aspects of BPM that would no longer be necessary with the help of simple rules as well as modern AI solutions.
