Innovation Spark: From Research to Action

Starting a company as a researcher is an exhilarating adventure that transforms groundbreaking ideas into impactful solutions. But what does this journey entail, and how can you navigate it successfully?

The three hour workshop, hosted by Startup Village Jülich in cooperation with Forschungszentrum Jülich and FH Aachen combines insights from founders with the opportunity to explore the potential for application of your own research as well as the possibility to expand your network of likeminded people. 

Kick off the event with inspiring stories from three visionary founders from FZJ and FHAC. Hear firsthand how they developed their groundbreaking research into businesses ideas, overcoming challenges and seizing opportunities along the way.

Following these captivating narratives, discover the wealth of support available from SUV, FZJ, and FHAC. Learn how these institutions can empower you to turn your own research into a successful venture.

Then, dive into an interactive session designed to spark your creativity. Collaborate with fellow participants to brainstorm and develop possible commercialization ideas based on your own research.

Finally, enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with food and drinks, where you can engage in further discussions and network with like-minded researchers. This is your chance to connect, share insights, and build the foundations for future collaborations.
