Innovation Office


In a joint initiative the Albert Ludwig University (Freiburg) and the Patent Office ipal GmbH (Berlin) aim to create high level industrial value for promising academic inventions. For this purpose, a BMWi funded pilot project “Innovation Office (IO)” was launched in spring 2010. Upon success, established IO infrastructures will expand their initial focus from oncology and medical technologies to life sciences more generally.

An innovation with adequate marketability stands for lowered risk, increased potential for commercialization and thus attractive revenues. Accordingly, the IO is believed to generate win-win situations for all partners by generating extensive value chains on selected early stage inventions via professional assessment, external funding and competent development towards high industrial value.
