Entrepreneurship

The innovation management fosters the entrepreneurial activities of scientists wanting to start their own business by offering competent help at any step from conception to realization. For this, the Foundation has developed a concept for the creation of entrepreneurial culture accompanying the »project-to-be commercialized « through all phases of the development process. With this systematic integration of the identification of marketable technologies and the analysis of both a start-up‘s potential and its chances in the long run into a constantly monitored process, the risks involved with starting a business are reduced to a minimum.

Over the last years, 20 young technology companies have been established within the INI-GraphicsNet, which have been successfully established in their respective markets. The INI-GraphicsNet Stiftung contributed to the strategic orientation of these companies, rendered practical assistance in the development of important organizational units, such as marketing and controlling, assisted in making contact with business partners and capital providers, and provided offices.
