Three years of Legal Tech Colab (LTC). In September 2022, on the initiative of Justice Minister Georg Eisenreich, the Bavarian Ministry of Justice and UnternehmerTUM founded the incubator and accelerator for the legal tech scene in Munich. Minister Eisenreich: The industry is currently experiencing a strong boost. The Legal Tech Monitor 2025 speaks of around 300 companies with up to 10,000 employees and a combined balance sheet total of at least 800 million euros, which are already part of Germanys diverse legal tech scene. But: A brilliant idea alone is often not enough. There is often a lack of financial resources, experience and a professional environment. We support you with the Legal Tech Colab Founders to successfully implement their sustainable business ideas.
With success: 26 start-ups are currently supported as active members of the LTC, 5 start-ups have already achieved alumni status, i.e. h. They are so successful on the market that they no longer need early-stage funding. In total, the members and alumni have raised over 46 million euros in venture capital. The Bavarian State Ministry of Justice supports the LTC with up to 1.5 million euros per year.
Justice Minister Eisenreich: My goal is for Munich to become the leading legal tech location in Germany. Artificial intelligence has proven to be a key technology in the legal tech sector. According to Legal Tech Monitor 2025, more than 80 percent of legal tech providers state that AI plays an important role in their business model. The wide availability of anonymized judgments is an important prerequisite for training AI-based models and will be the basis for many new legal tech applications. For this purpose, the Bavarian State Ministry of Justice wants to publish 50,000 judgments over the next few years.
Munich and Bavaria, with their excellent universities and innovative companies, offer the ideal breeding ground for a digital ecosystem.
The development of the Legal Tech Colab was supported by the TUM Venture Labs, an initiative from TUM and UnternehmerTUM that supports founders with an industry-specific network, mentoring and infrastructure. The LTC is closely networked with the Bavarian universities. Eisenreich: In three years, Colab has built up a network of more than 100 experts from the legal industry who support the start-ups with their knowledge and experience.
