The German government is increasingly recognizing the need to transfer research into value creation outside academia, including through startups.

“And maybe the one interesting, um, um, um, link is that increasingly the government and this sort of realization also in, in Germany is, is sort of dawning that there needs to be much stronger transfer component, not just by going into translation to universities, but also in, into sort of value creation outside of the academic realm, which is obviously going so more, more to startups and so on, which I think the Boston environment has always been one of the key examples.”
