From the HZDR Exploitation Guideline
Establishing spin-offs is a suitable means of exploitation. The HZDR supports spin-offs in the pre- and early post-start phase in accordance with the guidelines of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). In screenings, the HZDR selects potential-rich ideas that get transferred to an early spin-off phase by active business development. In the next development phases, the possibilities for the development of new business areas in association with the HZDR Innovation GmbH are exploited. The scope of the support provided by the HZDR depends on the strategic importance of the spin-off for the HZDR, as well as on the economic potential of the spin-off. In the case of spin-offs, the possibility of taking shares – parallel to licensing – is examined on a case by case basis.
