LabCampus

What LabCampus does

LabCampus GmbH is a Munich-Airport-based innovation campus developer and operator, wholly embedded within the Munich Airport (Flughafen München GmbH) corporate structure. Founded in 2018/2019, the company develops and leases flexible office and collaboration space on the airport grounds, targeting international corporations, German "hidden champion" mid-caps, scale-ups, and research institutions. Its current built footprint comprises two operational buildings — LAB 48 (first occupancy October 2022; ~29,400 m² building area, ~19,776 m² of flexible office space from 500 m² units) and the LAB 52 AirportAcademy (Q2 2023; 14,400 m² with seminar rooms, learning workshops, and gastronomy) — out of a masterplanned capacity for up to 29 buildings across four quarters.

The technical platform combines purpose-built sustainable real estate with amenity infrastructure. Buildings integrate photovoltaic rooftop systems, district heating from the airport's combined heat and power plant, concrete core activation with radiant heating/cooling, raised access flooring, fibre-optic connectivity, and a smart building management layer. Adjacent services include the Bistro forty8 and Cafébar nosh gastronomy outlets, event venues for up to 480 attendees, a digital community platform (community.labcampus.de), and 230 Hyde Living serviced apartments operated with Accor/sbe. Strategic anchor partnerships — KCAP (masterplan), Studio Vulkan (landscape), Auer Weber (LAB 52), TUM Convergence Center, Lufthansa, and MUST (Munich Innovation Ecosystem) — underpin the curated tenant mix and event programming (CONNECT.CREATE.COLLABORATE series).

The revenue model is anchored in long-term commercial real estate rental, with office space priced from €24/m², commission-free direct leasing via a Senior Sales Manager and website funnel. Supplemental income is generated from event venue hire, gastronomy, and the Hyde Living partnership. Pricing is publicly disclosed on labcampus.de, distribution is direct-to-customer (no intermediaries), and the GTM combines digital content, 360° virtual tours, in-person events, and a direct enterprise sales team targeting multinational tenants drawn by the airport's 175-destination connectivity. The firm employs 251–500 people and reports no revenue in source material; it operates as a private GmbH with no venture funding rounds disclosed.
