The transfer of knowledge and technology at the HSU<\/abbr>\/UniBw H pursues the mission of making innovative ideas and technologies usable for science, businesses and society in the form of start-ups, patents and co-operations. To this end, innovators have various professional contact points at their disposal: the HSU<\/abbr> Innovation Hub, dtec.bw and the HSU<\/abbr>\/UniBw H innovation network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Innovative and entrepreneurial minds among the students and researchers at HSU<\/abbr>\/UniBw H can draw on a wide range of resources – access to coaching, mentoring, companies, investors, co-founders and events – to develop their start-up ideas and to transfer their research findings into practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Science meets Innovation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

The HSU<\/abbr>\/UniBw H disposes of significant scientific research resources from over 120 chairs and institutes. The diversity of the research offers great potential which, in addition to academic significance, also has direct practical and economic relevance. Due to the inherent novelty of research findings, market advantages can be exploited by spin-offs or start-ups – because innovation lies dormant in all research and it only needs a business model to create an innovative start-ups from research results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
