The new "TUD Excellence Center for Innovation, Transfer and Entrepreneurship - TUD|excite" will be officially launched today with a ceremony on the TU Dresden campus and numerous prominent guests from science, politics and industry. Headed by Prof. Andreas Pinkwart – Chair of Innovation and Technology Management and long-time Minister for Science and Economy in North Rhine-Westphalia – it bundles TU Dresden's activities and services around knowledge and technology transfer, patents and spin-offs.
"Through TUD|excite, we are contributing to advancing TU Dresden as the leading institution for science-driven innovation and entrepreneurial thinking in Europe," Prof. Andreas Pinkwart says. "We support our researchers in finding practical applications for their research results and assist them in their journey from securing and exploiting intellectual property rights to start-ups."
TUD not only stands for excellent research, it also holds the most patents of any university in Germany, setting the pace for transfer and entrepreneurship. Each year, around 100 new inventions are patented. It was only in September that three TUD professors received the UNIPRENEURS Founders Award , the highest award for fostering entrepreneurship in higher education and research.
"Knowledge and technology transfer is one of the core tasks of our university alongside research and teaching," says TU Dresden Rector Prof. Ursula Staudinger. "With the new TUD Excellence Center for Innovation, Transfer and Entrepreneurship, we are creating a unique facility for all TUD members and for our business partners under one roof. It will strengthen TUD's innovative power and the link between science and industrial application in the long term."
