The WTZ Ost Tech-Hub aims at closing the commercialization gap.
We support scientists in:
- analyzing the technology from a user’s perspective
- finding and evaluating “out of the box“ application fields
- designing actionable commercialization strategies
How does it work?
The program comprises two workshops and a guided project phase:
- Workshop I (full day): Identification of technology’s benefits –> 16th April
- Project phase (individual): searching for applications (with help from WU students)
- Workshop II (full day): Presentation and discussion of findings; market and competitors analyses; draft your business case –> 28th May
