Our work is having an impact

The white paper on standardization of spin-off conditions in the medical life sciences developed jointly with TransferAllianz and our partners is increasingly being used as a reference. The success of our transfer projects also shows how much we can achieve together. Selected figures from 2024 illustrate this:

  • 34 revenue-generating contracts concluded with industry, a further 70 contracts in preparation for commercialization supported
  • 37 start-up projects were intensively supported, 7 of which resulted in a start-up in 2024, and 6 new spin-offs have already been founded in 2025
  • 8 new products based on research by Ascenion’s partners have reached the market

Not only is the start-up sector being boosted by AI, but the transfer process itself is also undergoing fundamental change. In this report, we provide insights into current developments and specific tips for dealing with AI:

  • AI-based start-ups and product developments by our partners
