Presentation of conference “Can a successful (bio)informatics service become profitable?” in the second Workshop on Transfer to Industry and Start-Ups of the HIPEAC 2014 at Vienna
This workshop aims at discussing means and ways to improve both the industry transfer as well as stimulating people to transfer their knowledge in business ideas and startups. Therefore, the workshop focuses on two main topics:
Transfer to industry: How can we improve the transfer of EU research results to industry? Are the existing schemes and organizations (Artemisia, Eniac, FP8) efficient and effective enough? What kind of research project organisations do we need? Etc.
Start-ups: Why is the number of successful Start-ups in Europe not so high? When should one seriously consider going for start-up? What does it take to start a company? How do I start doing it? How can I minimize the risks?
