Transfer and Entrepreneurship Office

The university’s transfer and entrepreneurship office supports the realization of innovation projects as well as knowledge- and technology-based business ventures.

Students, researchers, and alumni interested in entrepreneurship receive tailored support throughout the entire innovation process — from the initial idea and conceptual development to concrete implementation. This includes workshops on innovation methods, the development of impact cases, business model design, and advice on intellectual property rights. We also assist with acquiring specific funding and scholarships, as well as identifying suitable cooperation partners.

We look forward to your ideas!
