Spin-off companies from research are an important way to apply new technologies and findings for public benefit. This is why Helmholtz supports entrepreneurs in the field of science with a number of funding instruments, including the Helmholtz Enterprise program. Since 2005, 176 spin-offs have emerged from the Helmholtz Centers. Approximately half of them were funded by Helmholtz Enterprise. New, promising spin-offs are now ready to launch. Six spin-off projects were included in the program during the current round of calls.
Over a period of twelve months, each of the founders receive up to 260,000 euros in funding and go through a number of support programs to turn their business idea into a reality. “We use Helmholtz Enterprise to support brilliant scientists with their business ideas," says Otmar D. Wiestler, President of Helmholtz. "Their new companies are the result of years of excellent research at our Centers. Their new products and processes have high potential for innovation. For this reason, they play an important role in bringing technological progress into our daily lives. I wish them much success!”
Half of the Helmholtz Enterprise funding comes from the Helmholtz President’s Initiative and Networking Fund, the other half is provided by the Helmholtz Center where the basic technology of the business idea was developed.
The six projects currently being funded are:
