Great research deserves an impact beyond the lab, and a startup is one way to get it there. In this interactive session at JUNI, a Berlin-Brandenburg based startup factory for science-based ventures, we explore what it takes to turn research into a company, from opportunities and hurdles to the support available for international researchers in Germany. Whether you’re simply curious or already have an idea in mind, you’ll leave with a clearer sense of whether founding could be your path, and where to start.
