Startup Insider: From Uni to Unicorn

The question of why Heidelberg University stands for startups of all disciplines and backgrounds is the entrance into this podcast, which continues to explore the origins of hei_INNOVATION, how and why it supports the transfer of knowledge and technologies at Heidelberg University, what it does for prospective founders and transfer-enthusiastic scientists, and how it all relates to the topic of entrepreneurial skills.

"From Uni to Unicorn" is part of the podcast "Start Up Insider". Since May 2020, the podcast has been an integral part of the German start-up and founder scene and offers a comprehensive overview of the most important news, trends and investments. The focus is on sharing and passing on knowledge. In the course of the podcast, important scene players and founders are invited and current trends are analysed in expert interviews.

As a transfer agency, hei_INNOVATION promotes the transfer of knowledge and technology from university research results to society and is the central point of contact for supporting and implementing transfer activities at Heidelberg University. Its services can be used by all members of the university. hei_INNOVATION is thus a platform for the further development of future-oriented ideas.
