June 19, 2025: foundersSCIENTISTS – Turn Research into Reality

4:00 - 6:00 pm | Language: English and German | Conference room of the University Library

 

Keynote speeches and panel discussion

Welcome to a special afternoon with founders from academia who have ventured into self-entrepreneurship with innovative ideas.

Together with the BMFTR-funded T!Raum - TransferRäume für die Zukunft von Regionen, we would like to give an insight into some fascinating projects that have emerged at OVGU and led to the founding of start-ups. Each of these start-up stories started with a creative idea - we invite you to take a look at these developments, actively participate in the discussion, share experiences and network.

Keynote speeches:

• Enrico Pannicke, founder and managing director of mediMESH GmbH
  Presentation & Best Practice
• Erik May, founder and managing director of byte robotics GmbH
  EXIST start-up funding as a springboard
• Ramon Thomas, transPORT & founder of URWAHN Engineering GmbH
  From start-up to successful product
• Jonas Crackau, transPORT, Coordinator Start-up Ecosystem:
  Presentation of the transPORT start-up support program

Afterwards you have the opportunity to squeeze the founders out all the questions you want to know about their journeys. Ask them why founding was a life perspective, what helped them a lot or what sacrifices had to be made. We look forward to a lively and intensive discussion.
