Public Funding Opportunities for Spin-offs from Science

For the commercialization of research results, the foundation of a company can be an option, e.g. to further develop one's own idea into a product or service.

Funding of spin-off projects

The federal government maintains several funding programs for university spin-offs. We will gladly inform you about individual programs and arrange coaches and consultants for the application process. Charité is connected to the startup funding of Freie Universität Profund Innovation via a cooperation project.

Further examples of funding programs are: 

• GO-Bio initial 
• Berliner Startup Stipendium
• EXIST Business Start-up Grant
• EXIST Transfer of Research
• Validierungsförderung VIP+

Complementing competencies

Typically, university spin-offs have scientific expertise. However, the founding teams regularly lack economic and regulatory competencies. We support you in finding the appropriate people and competencies.

Regulatory issues

If you want to develop a medical device for CE certification, we offer initial training / consulting on regulatory issues.

Further education, seminars, business plan competition

In Berlin and the surrounding area, there are many opportunities for further education in the various aspects of a start-up. Examples are the seminar program of the Business Plan Competition Berlin Brandenburg, the Research to Market Challenge or the MBABioMedTech of the University of Potsdam. Contact us and we will try to arrange appropriate offers for you.
