Service Description

If you would like to set up a professional or regional platform for an organized exchange in science, business or between the two, you can receive funding under certain conditions.

If you would like to set up a professional or regional platform for an organized exchange in science, industry or between the two and address innovation-oriented future fields, you can receive funding under certain conditions (innovation-oriented networks). Innovation-oriented networks are idealistic or formal professional or regional platforms in science, in business or between the two in innovation-oriented future fields, the development and promotion of which is intended to create added value in Schleswig-Holstein in the future and increase the future competitiveness of science and business in the state. Innovation-oriented networks are basically the first form of organized exchange in a thematically clearly defined field of innovation.

If you would like to implement a new form of support for technology transfer that involves collaborative work, start-ups or spin-offs from science, you can receive funding under certain conditions (new types of technology transfer structures).

Funding is available:

FabLabs

A FabLab is an open workshop with the aim of giving private individuals or companies access to innovative means of production and modern industrial production processes such as 3D printing.

Start-up camps

Start-up camps are temporary events in which start-ups receive support to develop their ideas and business models.

Coworking spaces

Coworking spaces provide workstations and infrastructure (such as a network, printer, scanner, fax, telephone, projector, meeting rooms) for a limited period of time and enable freelancers, creative professionals and start-ups to realize projects, develop new business ideas, etc.

Accelerators

An accelerator is an institution that helps start-ups to develop quickly within a certain period of time through coaching.

Innovation hubs

An innovation hub is a center that facilitates cooperation between SMEs and start-ups and thus enables effective business model development outside the existing business.

In addition, other facilities that similarly serve technology transfer and business start-ups from science are also supported. Novel structures do not focus on strengthening science in a specialist area.


Process flow

The procedure involves two stages.

In the first stage, interested companies or institutions submit a presentation of their project in the form of a project proposal to the WTSH (for new types of technology transfer structures) or to Investitionsbank Schleswig-Holstein (for innovation-oriented networks). It is recommended that you seek advice from the WTSH or Investitionsbank Schleswig-Holstein beforehand. A project proposal can be submitted at any time.

On the basis of the project proposal, the WTSH or Investitionsbank Schleswig-Holstein will check and assess whether the project is fundamentally eligible and worthy of funding. If the assessment is positive, the application is recommended.

On the basis of the project proposal, each network partner submits a complete, formal application for funding to the WTSH or Investitionsbank Schleswig-Holstein.

This must contain the following points

  • a comprehensible presentation of the innovation potential or innovative character of the project (including degree of innovation), the reference to Schleswig-Holstein's fields of specialization with a focus on the needs of the regional economy, the expected economic significance for sustainable value creation and feasibility and the contribution to the cross-cutting objectives and indicators;
  • a presentation of the coherence of the project with the objectives and approaches of RIS3.SH (Regional Innovation Strategy Schleswig-Holstein);
  • verifiable research to demonstrate the unique character of the project and the novelty of the knowledge, product, process or service; the WTSH or Investitionsbank Schleswig-Holstein can have the presentations reviewed externally if required;
  • an assessment of the prospects of success on the market and the potential impact on the economy as well as exploitation plans;
  • a basic technology impact assessment and an assessment of the effects of implementation on global, societal, economic, social and ecological aspects can be commissioned by the WTSH or Investitionsbank Schleswig-Holstein from external experts if required;
  • If necessary, a separate calculation between the project sponsor's economic and non-economic activities (when funding facilities for research and knowledge dissemination, the costs for financing economic activities and non-economic activities must be clearly separated);
  • the submission of a work plan;
  • the presentation of the applicant's competence to carry out the project;
  • a description of the sustainability of the funding beyond the end of the funding period, including the intended future prospects.

The WTSH or Investitionsbank Schleswig-Holstein will review the application and request any missing documents or information. Once a complete application has been submitted, the WTSH or Investitionsbank Schleswig-Holstein will decide whether to approve the funding. There is no legal entitlement to funding.
