Dear Researchers, Doctoral Candidates, and Professors,
We, THI Startup Center and Doctoral School, are delighted to invite you to our Fireside Chat "From Research to your Startup” – an inspiring event for those considering turning their scientific findings into real-world applications and possibly launching their own business.
Date: Monday, 12 May 2025
Time: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM
Location: Reimanns

This event will offer valuable insights into the entrepreneurial journeys of successful researchers and provide a great opportunity to network with founders, experts, and peers in an informal setting.
Why attend?
Many groundbreaking ideas are born in research, but only a few are successfully transformed into thriving businesses. Often, researchers lack knowledge about technology transfer, commercialization, and the support systems available. This evening will demonstrate that pursuing a Doctorate and founding a startup are not mutually exclusive — they can complement and strengthen each other.
Agenda:
- Welcome & Introduction
- Motivation to Start a Business
- The Journey: From Idea to Startup
- Startup Ecosystem Overview
- Networking with free refreshments
We look forward to an inspiring and engaging event with you!
Best regards,
Elke Feifel (Vice President Sustainability, Transfer and Entrepreneurship)&
Christian Facchi (Head of Doctoral School)
