For the first time, Technische Universit\u00e4t Darmstadt has awarded its newly created “Spin-Off Label” to 19 outstanding start-ups. This recognition marks another milestone in promoting science-based business ventures and underscores TU Darmstadt’s position as a key innovation hub in Germany.<\/p>\n

The Spin-Off Label, presented by TU Darmstadt’s Vice President for Innovation and International Affairs, Prof. Dr. Thomas Walther, honors university-affiliated spin-offs that demonstrate exceptional innovation. The award is based on a multi-stage, criteria-based selection process. “The start-ups awarded the label are a testament to the research strength of our spin-offs,” says Vice President Thomas Walther. “With the \u2018Made in Darmstadt\u2019 seal, we not only provide visibility for these innovative companies but also set a quality standard for science-based start-ups.”<\/p>\n

Seven of the awarded start-ups were funded through EXIST Research Transfer, eight with the EXIST Start-up Grant, and one through SPRIND. Collectively, these TU Darmstadt spin-offs have created over 460 jobs and secured \u20ac170 million in funding.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n
