Entrepreneurship

The essential aim of MIRA’s science is to effectively bring new technologies into clinics. Only then can we positively change the lives of patients. Therefore, we encourage our scientists to bring proprietary technologies and products onto the market. Our staff intensively conducts those with viable ideas.

Recently, MIRA’s research results have lead to several inventions with a social and commercial significance. New spin-off companies have been started and existing ones attracted new funding, enabling them to grow.

Especially in (bio-) medical technology, the path from invention to application is very expensive. Transferring an invention to the commercial sector therefore requires protection. To safeguards any investments that have been made and to make it possible to fund further research, it is important to have patents.
