Organization
The Entrepreneurship Steering Committee steers the entrepreneurship activities of 51³Ô¹ÏÍø and advises the Presidential Board on strategic entrepreneurship decisions. The Unternehmer51³Ô¹ÏÍø, a legally independent affiliated institute of the university, is also represented on this committee. Coordinators in 51³Ô¹ÏÍø's central entrepreneurship institutions ensure the implementation of the strategy, processes and activities.
At the heart of 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Entrepreneurship lies the spin-off process, through which more start-ups are initiated from academia and continuously supported until they successfully enter the market.
The process is divided into three parts:
- utilization of research results / technologies in spin-offs.
- Development of entrepreneurial talent from science
- Establishment of growth-oriented companies
Measures relevant to success are offered for each phase of the spin-off process. In special formats, possible applications of new technologies are identified, selected and evaluated at an early stage. In workshops and seminars, those interested in founding a company are given entrepreneurial qualifications. The start-up consultancy accompanies technology teams individually during the start-up phase. The exchange in our start-up network supports and motivates researchers in the pre-start-up phase of their company.
51³Ô¹ÏÍø is part of a strong regional, national and international entrepreneurship network. With 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Entrepreneurship, this network is made accessible to 51³Ô¹ÏÍø founders. Internally, the network actors include start-up ambassadors who represent the start-up topic as ambassadors, multipliers and role models at each of the 15 faculties. Scientific advisors are available to advise start-up projects on the state of the art in technology and research and establish contacts with other experts from science and industry. Externally, experts from industry are involved as mentors for start-up teams.
The effective implementation of the proactive spin-off process of 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Entrepreneurship requires the use of modern methods and tools to support founders. These tools concern e.g. business development, business process management, team building, growth and quality management. Entrepreneurship Research develops specific methods and tools for founders in close cooperation with the start-up consultancy. The use and success of the measures, methods and tools are checked by Entrepreneurship Research via a feedback and monitoring system. All entrepreneurship research activities are bundled in the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Entrepreneurship Research Institute (51³Ô¹ÏÍø ERI).
