TU Dortmund University is an innovative university and contributes to the economic and social development in North Rhine-Westphalia and beyond with the inventions of its scientists. In close cooperation with PROvendis GmbH - a subsidiary of the NRW universities in the Intellectual Property Verbund (HIP) - TU Dortmund University evaluates, protects and exploits the inventions of its scientists. Many of these inventions have a high economic potential and are exploited and put into practice by licensing or selling them to companies; some of them served as the basis for the foundation of innovative companies from TU Dortmund University.

All technologies were evaluated by PROvendis GmbH according to economic and intellectual property criteria. PROvendis also supports us as a central service provider within the framework of the NRW Hochschul-IP association in marketing the offers.

All offers are continuously supplemented on the Website of the Centrum für Entrepreneurship & Transfer (CET).
