On March 19, 2026, learn firsthand how the former Athegus research team, which has been successfully supported by the EXIST Research Transfer funding program since 2025, has spun off into its own start-up.
Learn how research is being developed into a marketable startup: The team will report on the journey from the research phase to the application and financing process to the practical challenges after the company was founded.
Take advantage of this opportunity to gain insights into real startup processes in a research context and take away valuable lessons for your own innovation or startup ideas.
We look forward to your virtual participation!
