So that research makes a difference.

Science gives rise to ideas, insights and technologies with great potential. The Centre for Transfer and Start-ups helps to highlight this potential and set it on the path to practical application.

Through this Centre, TU Bergakademie Freiberg is, for the first time, bringing together its expertise from the Transfer, Start-up and Intellectual Property departments. The Centre is part of the 4transfer (Transfer) and SAXEED (Start-up) networks.

This creates a one-stop shop for researchers: from the initial idea, through questions regarding commercialisation and intellectual property rights, to collaboration with companies, the further development of a technology or setting up their own start-up. Companies and other partners find direct access to the university’s scientific expertise, technologies and opportunities for collaboration at the Centre for Technology Transfer and Start-ups.

Transfer

We bring science and industry together. We make research and technologies accessible to businesses, initiate collaborations and, at the same time, bring new practical questions into the university.

Start-ups

We turn ideas into start-up opportunities. We support students, researchers and alumni from the initial business idea right through to setting up a business, and provide access to expertise, networks and suitable funding opportunities.

Intellectual property rights

We help to protect ideas and inventions. We evaluate inventions, support the patent application process and develop appropriate intellectual property strategies as the basis for successful commercialisation.

TUBAF Innovation Fund

Validate research findings. Identify specific areas of application. Prepare for commercialisation.

The TUBAF Innovation Fund (TIF) is a flexible innovation fund run by TU Bergakademie Freiberg. It enables researchers to validate the commercial viability of their research findings as part of their own research project and to develop potential applications in more concrete terms.
