Insights into the translation and startup ecosystem in Lower Saxony
A broad regional network of players from science and industry is crucial for the successful translation of innovative research into clinical use. The life science ecosystem in Lower Saxony is constantly growing and four key players were showcased at the EKFZ Academy workshop. Jörn Lindemann (SNIC Life Science Inkubator and Transfer & Startup Hub University of Göttingen), Dr. Martin Strehle (Life Science Factory) and Angela Bortenreuter (TRAIN) introduced their organizations and provided valuable glimpses of their translational work. They act as sparring partners for startups and research project teams aiming to spin-off and offer a broad range of need-based support including
• professional technology and business consulting
• access to potential partners and investors
• access to capital
• flexible infrastructure
• community events.
After the workshop, the participants and speakers discussed possibilities to further strengthen the life science ecosystem and exchanged ideas on their research projects while enjoying ice cream and drinks.
A heartfelt thank you to the guest speakers for their valuable insights and their supportive work within the translation and startup ecosystem in Lower Saxony!
