Collaboration INSPIRE BW Platform

The INSPIRE BW Hubs were founded in January 2024 and are funded by the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and Arts. Their goal is to raise the profile of science-based start-ups and support founders on their journey to launching a business. Within each hub, several universities pool their activities, expertise, and networks to facilitate joint programs, larger talent pools, and greater interdisciplinary collaboration. Cross-hub collaboration via the INSPIRE BW platform is coordinated at Heidelberg University by hei_INNOVATION. All hubs are also closely linked to the NXTGN Startup Factory, thereby making an important contribution to bringing together research, entrepreneurship, and commercial application in Baden-Württemberg.
