Partnerships:
Accelerating Purposedriven Disruptive Innovation.

We know that scientific breakthroughs alone are not enough. That is why we create an environment where ideas become reality.

By promoting entrepreneurship in current and emerging fields, we maximize the impact of research. Through training, market insights, and strong networks, our partners use their creativity and experience to seamlessly translate research breakthroughs into societal and socioeconomic impact.

Our approach is holistic: we provide funding, complement teams, and connect them with the right networks in science, business, and the political realm. This support unlocks hidden potential, empowers talent, drives new venture creation, and facilitates valuable insights and connections within the opportunity spaces we are exploring—and those yet to be discovered.

  1. Investor Network

    We facilitate the transition to private financing by collaborating early with private capital providers and promoting crowding-in, meaning attracting private investors rather than displacing them.

    Join the network

  2. Industry Network

    We build a strong network of industry leaders and domain experts providing support through mentorship, advice, and funding.

    Join the network

  3. Team Building

    We strengthen team dynamics by filling skills gaps and improving startup success chances with a balanced mix of technical, operational, and business development expertise.

    Please contact us, if you want to join our network!

Innovation does not end at national borders, but arises in international ecosystems. Europe must work closely together to bring about breakthrough innovations and thus generate sustainable economic added value. That is why we are working with several EU member states and the EU to establish international challenges based on the SPRIND model, set up agencies with comparable governance, and initiate new experiments in innovation support and financing.
