Turning Innovations into Spin-outs

I help your researchers develop their business ideas and give them the necessary tools to develop confidence for taking the leap into the business world.
I myself jumped directly from my PhD into building a startup and learned the hard way which paths lead to success and which ones don´t. Since then I have come a long way and made it my mission to support other researchers on the way to bringing their impactful deep tech ideas to the real world. I hope that in this way, great innovation doesn´t end up dusted on a lab bench or forgotten in a journal, and instead can make this world a happier and healthier place for all.

Here is a selection of services I offer:

I prepare tailored courses for researchers in Deep Tech to give them a clear idea of what it takes to develop a business out of their research. The duration of these courses can be adjusted to fit your needs. Whether you want to provide a 2-hour crash course or a multi-day seminar for a true deep dive, I am happy to talk about what makes the most sense for your audience and your goals.

Guest Lecturing

Equip your students with the entrepreneurial mindset they need to launch spin-outs and drive innovation.
Most biotech and biomanufacturing students learn incredible science, but they rarely learn how to build a business around it. If students are inspired to search for solutions to problems they see, they develop an entrepreneurial mindset. Offering my “Applied Bio-Innovation Seminar” gives your students a practical playbook for turning their lab work into real-world applications within the bioeconomy. This will fuel their innovative capacity, and for universities, it’s an easy way to modernize the curriculum and show that you are actively investing in what happens to your students after graduation. Programs that teach these translation skills naturally stand out. You will attract more ambitious students and produce graduates who are highly employable, whether they go on to launch their own deep-tech startup or drive innovation at an existing company.
