AI Phase emerged from the TUM.ai initiative and has grown from a platform for AI student projects into a founder-led consulting and implementation company for custom AI.
AI Phase emerges from the TUM.ai initiative – where Munich's strongest AI talent meets real industry problems. Out of hackathons, research and first projects grows one conviction: AI only creates value once it lands in real processes.
As a platform for AI student projects, AI Phase connects curated teams with companies – from computer vision in quality assurance to legal AI. The model works: companies get prototypes, talent gets real industry experience.

The platform becomes a founder-led consulting and implementation company. Strategy experience from Roland Berger and Capgemini meets engineering from Siemens and Sopra Steria projects – consulting and delivery from one hand.
Ticket automation in IT support, 3D computer vision in automotive quality assurance, agentic platforms for critical infrastructure: AI Phase ships systems with measurable results – not slide decks.
Today, AI Phase supports companies across DACH, throughout Europe and worldwide – including the US – through the entire AI lifecycle, with the ambition to be the most trusted partner for productive, future-proof AI.
Help organizations unlock AI potential through secure, integrated and measurable AI systems that improve real business processes.
Become the trusted partner for organizations that want to move beyond experimentation and build productive, future-proof AI capabilities.
State-of-the-art AI is only useful when it creates measurable value in real processes.
We show the path from AI potential to a working system – including operations.
Access control, governance, compliance and maintenance are part of it from day one.
