The German Spin-off Framework (GSOF) is a voluntary commitment by numerous stakeholders in the innovation ecosystem to adopt common standards for research-based spin-offs and has already garnered 44 supporters in its first iteration. The framework aims to reduce friction and increase transparency by establishing practical “landing zones” for intellectual property licensing, equity participation, and spin-off negotiations.
The GSOF is intended as a living framework that will evolve alongside market developments and international best practices, supporting Germany’s ambition to translate world-class research into globally competitive companies.
We at Ascenion are proud to have helped create the framework as part of the team!
