BREAKTHROUGH INNOVATION THROUGH DIVERSITY

Joining the ranks of many more women, The Art of SPRINDfluencing enters its second round

Even in 2024 female teams are still clearly underrepresented when it comes to company foundings, especially with regard to scientific spin-offs. Unfortunately, SPRIND project submissions are no exception.

GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUNDING FOR THEIR SPRUNGINNOVATION

Accepting the lack of female submissions is not an option either, and remains one of our key goals: to address and reach smart female innovators who we know are out there.

SPRIND therefore gives role models from the network of experts and from science, politics, economics & the SPRIND team a platform and a face. If she can see it, she can be it. This guiding principle has been successfully shaped by many initiatives, and we have taken it as a model.

We are interested in people who want to develop the future, which is why we cannot miss out on clever, visionary ideas from half of society.
