Wie können deutsche Hochschulen #Innovationen und #Ausgründungen effektiver fördern? Welche Rolle spielt die #Internationalisierung für einen erfolgreichen Wissens- und #Technologietransfer? Und was können wir von der Innovationskraft des Silicon Valley lernen, um flexiblere und agilere #Forschungsnetzwerke zu schaffen? Das German Center for Research and Innovation (DWIH) San Francisco hat eine umfassende Studie in Auftrag gegeben, die auf Best-Practice-Beispielen aus dem Silicon Valley basiert. Die Untersuchung analysiert das Technologietransfer- und Gründungsökosystem in Kalifornien und Deutschland und gibt konkrete Empfehlungen, wie deutsche Hochschulen ihr Innovationspotenzial besser ausschöpfen können. Wir laden euch herzlich zu einer Online-Veranstaltung am 9. Oktober 2024 von 16.00 bis 17.00 Uhr (CET) ein, bei der Zahar Barth-Manzoori, Olaf J Groth, PhD, sowie Tobias Straube die zentralen Ergebnisse der Studie vorstellen. Gemeinsam wollen wir Lösungsansätze diskutieren und über die Chancen einer internationalen Vernetzung für den Wissens- und Technologietransfer sprechen.
