For Research
Research-driven insights shaping startup success.
introduction
Research & Practice
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.
In this context, we strive to offer a holistic entrepreneurial support system to empower the next generation of innovators and at the same time support research on key aspects of entrepreneurial activities. Our focus is on supporting studies at the intersection of research and practice that shall ultimately enable success of startups.
Transfer Concept
We support research on entrepreneurial activities in the capacity of a non-profit practice partner. As a practice partner, we are interested in the effective transfer of research findings where transfer is understood as the application of knowledge produced through basic research. This means research findings and insights are converted into actionable formats that can be potentially implemented or tested. The test results are evaluated and fed back into research. Thereby, establishing a dynamic link between research and practice. Such cooperation projects are also expected to provide an impetus for pursuing new scientific questions in entrepreneurship research.
"Our partnership has transformed the way we approach education, enabling us to provide innovative solutions that benefit our students and faculty alike."

Current Projects
Entrepreneurship Research Lab
The Entrepreneurship Research Lab (ERLab) aims to analyze entrepreneurial ecosystems as the basis of entrepreneurship. We have three doctoral researchers that are supervised by the chairs at the European University of Viadrina. As a practice partner, Campus Founders supports empirical research and in co-developing meaningful research transfer formats.

MIT Regional Entrepreneurship Acceleration Program (REAP)
REAP is a program run by the MIT Sloan School of Management for the strategic development and international positioning of regional ecosystems. The aim of the program is to translate research into practical frameworks, approaches and actions for innovation and entrepreneurship. The program follows a multi-stakeholder approach and is implemented in close cooperation with representatives of stakeholder groups from Heilbronn Franconia. This project is implemented by the Dieter Schwarz Stiftung
Science of Startups -Understanding Incubator & Ecosystem Success®
