Entrepreneurship and Transfer
As a central service unit of TU Dortmund University, the Centre for Entrepreneurship & Transfer (CET) supports students, staff and graduates from all faculties in the specific planning and implementation of their innovative start-up projects, as well as in the commercialization of research results.
In concrete terms, this means: We provide start-up consulting and help develop business models, business plans and pitch decks, among other things. In addition, we work with you to identify the best funding opportunities, evaluate the potential of research results and ensure the protection and commercialization of innovations. We also offer a range of workshop formats on transfer-related topics.
Please feel free to contact us to arrange a consultation.
We assess your ideas or research results using state-of-the-art methods and help you to draft and design business models, recognize market opportunities and draw up your business plan. We also assist you with value propositions and applications to funding programs for early-phase finance.
Together, we assess the potential of research results by TU Dortmund researchers and develop tailored commercialization strategies. Among other things, we advise on suitable funding programs to financially support transfer projects. In addition, together with the patent commercialization agency PROvendis GmbH, we guide the entire process of filing patents and other intellectual property rights. Our goal is to transfer scientific findings into practice in a structured and successful way.
