UNIVERSITY OF COLOGNE

Many academics wish to see their work having a positive impact outside of academia.

We engage with you to grow your network of contacts to accelerate development of your ideas.

Engaging with us and talking to other people about your ideas, you may discover new applications for your current research or create new areas of research for you.

Through the journey of an idea to its implementation in the form of a viable, desirable and feasible solution, you will build a network of non-academic contacts relevant to your area of research, including potential industry partners, investors and external experts. Some of these external contacts may support or fund your future research projects.

We support you to shape ideas, find suitable funding calls, establish contacts to partners, and commercialize your research – through licensing or by creating your own venture.
