Every single day researchers and students have ideas for technologies that ease the burden on our climate and environment, improve our health and provide assistance to those in need. We help these researchers and students develop these ideas into practical products. The entrepreneurial spirit of founding entrepreneurs thus accelerates the sustainable transformation of our society.
