Knowledge and Technology Transfer

Scientists at Marburg can professionally market their research results with the help of the Transfer Centre of Central Hessen (TZM), which offers support both for fundamental research as well as application-oriented development. Philipps-Universität operates TZM in cooperation with University of Applied Sciences Giessen-Friedberg and Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen.

TransMIT Gesellschaft für Technologietransfer mbH takes care of the commercial exploitation of the scientific achievements. It markets innovative technologies and services mainly through the TransMIT Centers and the patent and marketing agency.

Entrepreneurs belonging to the university are supported both by the university and the department for business start-ups at TransMIT.
