Profile
For more than 20 years, Fraunhofer Venture has been the central contact point for comprehensive spin-off support and investment management at Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft. As a committed partner for founders, start-ups, Fraunhofer-Institutes, industry and investors, we offer young companies access to Fraunhofer-technologies, infrastructure and know-how as well as over 9,000 patent families. This way spin-offs get the opportunity to establish products on the market faster and more efficiently. We support spin-off projects all the way from the initial idea and company foundation through to financing and a possible exit.
With the tech transfer funding programs AHEAD and COLAB as well as other innovative offers, we back our founders on their path to success.
Services
Our main tasks include the evaluation of business models and the search for financing, cooperation and industry partners. With the help of our network, the team offers excellent support, particularly when it comes to identifying suitable financing partners. In addition to supporting researchers from the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Fraunhofer Venture also opens the door to exciting Fraunhofer-technologies for external start-ups and entrepreneurs.
