Academic Collaborations

As a startup and co-innovation hub in Heilbronn our vision is to become the first choice for founders wanting to create an impactful future.

We strive to offer a holistic entrepreneurial support system that fosters innovation and empowers the next generation of innovators, while leveraging research on key aspects of entrepreneurial activity. Our focus is on supporting initiatives at the intersection of research and practice that ultimately drive innovation, collaboration, and the growth of new ventures.

Transfer Concept

Transfer Concept

We support research on entrepreneurial activity as a non-profit practice partner. In this role, we're focused on the effective transfer of research findings, understood as applying knowledge generated through basic research. This means turning research findings and insights into actionable formats that can be implemented and tested. The results are then evaluated and fed back into research, creating a dynamic link between theory and practice. These cooperation projects are also expected to spark new scientific questions in entrepreneurship research.
