The WTZ Ost Tech-Hub aims at closing the commercialization gap.

We support scientists in:

  • analyzing the technology from a user’s perspective
  • finding and evaluating “out of the box“ application fields
  • designing actionable commercialization strategies

How does it work?

The program comprises two workshops and a guided project phase:

  • Workshop I (full day): Identification of technology’s benefits –> 16th April
  • Project phase (individual): searching for applications (with help from WU students)
  • Workshop II (full day): Presentation and discussion of findings; market and competitors analyses; draft your business case –> 28th May
