The focus of the program is on teams from technology fields in the field of microsystems technology such as sensors, actuators, 3D printing, robotics, printing and pump technologies, optics, AR/VR, in-vitro diagnostics, nanotechnologies or microfluidics.

In connection with artificial intelligence, radio technologies such as 5G or cloud computing, these technologies are elementary to create digital images of nature, machines, components, cities and traffic or the human body – and to convert digitally developed solutions into physical reality.

Your benefits at a glance:

• Strong industrial network (energy industry, measurement, control and regulation technology, mechanical engineering, medical technology, etc.)
• Individual support with critical feedback and strong peer teams
• Intensive mentoring with more than 10 mentors per workshop
• Extensive access to test municipalities such as Breisach am Rhein, etc.
• Networking with healthcare facilities
• International scaling via friendly accelerators
• Fancy co-working space and access to top-level test infrastructure
• Access to investors and funding including a convertible loan of EUR 200,000 via start-up BW Pre-Seed

Teams in our program create solutions for protecting the climate and water, for resource-saving processes in industry and smart cities or for high-quality medical therapies – together with our network of strong industrial players and innovative municipalities as well as leading international research institutions, investors and experts.

4 weeks, 10 teams, 10 ideas

During the free four-week program, participants learn to think like an entrepreneur, to further develop their idea with new, creative methods and to transfer it into a portable, scalable business model. The participants will also be prepared to pitch this model to inverstors. The teams are accompanied by the hei_INNOVATION team and trained coaches and mentors from the world of entrepreneurship –  Peter Neske, Innovation Lead at Hub Freiburg, will also coach a team of participants in a 1:1 mentoring.

The Pfizer Healthcare Hub team and experienced Pfizer experts are working on a digital therapy for smoking cessation via smartphone as part of the cooperation with the Alex Therapeutics team.

The medical product was developed by Alex Therapeutics and adapted to the requirements of the German healthcare system together with Pfizer. Pfizer is currently conducting an extensive clinical trial with the app in Germany to prove the medical benefits of the solution. 

"With this solution, we can give patients access to new innovative forms of therapy while taking full advantage of the opportunities offered by digitalization," says Aylin Tüzel, Country Manager at Pfizer Germany.
