Concept
Matchmaking in early phases of innovation
Since 2005, the Heidelberg Innovation Forum has succeeded in bringing together ICT researchers and market players in the early phases of innovation.
The matchmaking platform supports
- start-up financing,
- licensing and
- R&D cooperation.
How?
Researchers, developers and start-up companies present up to 30 business ideas and close-to-market research findings to an audience of experts in short eight-minute pitches.
Track Record of 10%
More than 325 start-ups and developers from ten countries have presented their ideas at previous events and can testify to the success of the concept. Over half were able to forge promising contacts with investors and decision-makers in the business scene. That means a total track record of 10 percent.
