Help getting started – excellent support from the word go
If a promising project in the development phase is ready to be transitioned out of a university, but a company has not yet been founded, the Technology Transfer Centre for Life Sciences can help. The centre offers very affordable laboratory space with appropriate infrastructure for applied life sciences research, and provides advice for researchers who want to start transitioning their technology out of academia and into industry before founding a company.
Our consultants are happy to help and can put you in touch with other experts.

How do I protect my idea?
Property disputes are lengthy and expensive. It is therefore important to carefully consider the following:
- Is our idea really new?
- If so, should we protect it?
- With a patent, trademark or design?
- When are licences useful?
Our experts are the right people to talk to about these and other property rights issues, and can also put you in touch with other specialists.

Funding required – who can help?
Finding the right funding is not something that should be left to chance. We can advise on public funding programmes for individual projects and cooperations at regional, national and EU level.

In addition, we can facilitate contact with an international life sciences fund.
