Start-ups and corporate spin-offs

Translating research into practice

Scientific findings have the potential to address societal challenges and drive the development of new technologies. To ensure that such ideas do not remain confined to the lab, targeted support is needed – from initial validation and business model development to implementation.

We support aspiring founders and spin-offs from the academic and research environment with our experience, extensive network, and tailored programs. Through close collaboration with initiatives in the region and beyond, we help translate research results into practical application and further develop entrepreneurial ideas.

 

ICM Early Ride Program

From 2023 to 2024, we offered our own incubation program called the ICM Early Ride Program. It was aimed at early-stage innovation projects from the STEM field, focusing on mobility and production.

Information about past cohorts and an overview of successful spin-offs can be found here:
