Innovation management and technology promotion
Universities and research institutions help companies and society to shape the future and successfully adapt to change. They are important drivers of innovation that contribute to economic and social success and to the future viability of society and the regional environment. In addition to teaching and research, the "third mission" of universities is gaining enormous importance.
Innovation management supports this mission by transferring knowledge and technology from research to business and society. We support scientists, students and alumni/alumnae in making their research results, methods and competences usable beyond their own scientific community - from the idea to the application!
We help to identify innovative potential, advise scientists on transfer opportunities and support and accompany them in their search for suitable funding programmes, cooperation partners, important contacts or mentors
We can discuss your research activities, cooperation or other transfer opportunities and suitable funding in a personal meeting. We will also be happy to direct you to the right people when it comes to patenting/licensing or legal questions about cooperation projects or contract research. As innovation scouts and managers, we bring a new perspective when looking at your research results, methods and competences. Together we discuss ideas for further application and cooperation possibilities - often we can connect you with new research and cooperation partners. We advise and support you in planning the next steps and finding suitable funding. Important questions can be: Which property rights should be asserted? Is patenting possible and sensible? How big is the market potential? Which funding programmes can be considered for validation? Which transfer path can be taken? For example, the path can lead via validation funding to an industrial cooperation or a spin-off. We support scientists in finding the right support for their project by:
