Billions are invested in research and development every year. Investments have the goal of creating economic value. Scientists at research institutes are not only involved in teaching, but above all in their scientific research, creating new findings and publishing these results. University structures have been created precisely for this purpose. However, they are not designed towards marketing these research results, approaching companies or sales. There is considerable potential here that can be tapped for institutes, universities and professors.

WIPANO supports this process from the review of the idea to its exploitation in 6 service packages, which are funded for universities as follows:

In addition, in some federal states the funding amounts are increased by further innovation funding, such as the Saxon state technology funding.

Businesses are always on the lookout for new scientific findings, ideas, technologies and processes. They are focused on the marketing of products, because their existence depends on whether or not they develop new innovations, new market successes and thus constantly generate new profits. However, they often lack access to scientists and scientific research institutions and a project manager who, in addition to their day-to-day business, ensures that the projects achieve their goals. We arrange contact with experts, but also evaluate their own inventions in the same way as we do for universities.

Using WIPANO funding, you will receive a non-refundable grant of up to 50 percent of your expenses for each service package. LP1-3 and 5 must be provided by a qualified, external service provider.
