Profile Staff Unit hei_INNOVATION

hei_INNOVATION is the first point of contact when seeking support for all matters related to transfer activities at Heidelberg University and their implementation. The transfer agency’s services within the field of knowledge and technology transfer are open to all members of the university, thus offering a broad platform for the development of forward-looking and innovative ideas.

Its key objective is to coordinate transfer activities across departments and faculties and to transfer research results into society effectively. In addition to supporting the development of innovation projects and technology transfer, it also works with specialised divisions from non-university institutions as well as with industry partners. As a staff unit led by the Vice-rector for Innovation and Transfer, hei_INNOVATION is an essential component of Heidelberg’s Excellence Strategy.

The transfer agency’s services range from supporting researchers throughout processes of founding new companies or spin offs, e.g. by developing business models, assisting the drawing up of licensing agreements or patents, and other ways of transferring scientific findings into application. Furthermore, hei_INNOVATION has developed qualification programmes in the field of entrepreneurship and offers consulting services for both potential start-ups and for knowledge transfer projects.

The services hei_INNOVATION offers are funded in part through EXIST-Potentiale, a programme by the federal ministry of economics and energy.
