We put ideas into practice and feed insights back into the scientific community—for innovations that make a difference.
Foundation and transfer made easy
Innovation arises where knowledge meets new perspectives. Whether it’s research findings with practical applications, a startup idea that emerges during your studies, or the desire to put scientific insights into practice—we’ll support you every step of the way.
The CET is the central point of contact for technology transfer and startup support at TU Dortmund University. We support students and researchers in turning their ideas into viable projects, business models, and innovations. Through personalized advising, tailored support services, and a strong network spanning academia, industry, society, and politics, we lay the groundwork for successful knowledge and technology transfer. We not only bring ideas and innovations from TU Dortmund University into business and society, but also bring insights from the real world back to the university. This fosters new collaborations and forward-looking solutions.
Together, we put knowledge to work—in the region and beyond.
