Entrepreneurial Transfer
According to the vision "Your Venture, Your Way - RWTH Aachen: Leading the Way in Orchestrating Entrepreneurship", the unique resources of RWTH and the entire RWTH environment (technology, expertise, infrastructure, human capital, cooperation partners, and capital) will be made available for start-up teams from RWTH and even all over Germany in the coming years.
The "Entrepreneurial Transfer" stands for the mutual exchange of ideas, knowledge, technology and people within the university, with partner organisations as well as business and society. RWTH students, graduates and researchers are thus provided with comprehensive and customized support in all stages of setting up a start-up.
Since 2018, all the services formerly offered by the Entrepreneurship Center have been provided by the new Center for Entrepreneurship, RWTH Innovation - a cooperation between the newly founded RWTH Innovation GmbH and the Innovation and Entrepreneurship group (WIN).

The concept includes the professionalization of start-up consulting, the extension of individual support for founders and networking with external supporters from the economy, such as business angels, venture capital funds, start-ups, companies, accelerators, as well as universities, research institutions and technology centers. This unique contact point is intended to become the largest incubator for entrepreneurship in Europe and at the same time serve to network start-up teams from all over Germany.

The aim of the strategy is to encourage entrepreneurial thinking and acting and to make it a central part of RWTH culture. No idea, no research result should be lost that has value for the nation’s economic fabric or society. Each startup team is to get the target-oriented support it needs to launch a successful business.
