From now on, interested researchers are invited to submit their ideas for sensor technology-related transfer projects. The SENSCUBATOR supports the project teams with a structured, cooperative transfer process. The first Call for Ideas runs until July 13, 2025.
“The SENSCUBATOR community supports research teams in developing their sensor technology innovation in a targeted manner close to the market and thus bringing it into application more quickly,” explains project manager Julia LĂĽpfert. “We work out a customized development plan with each team and identify suitable measures. These can range from the initial transfer strategy to specific business model development and financial support. The growing community also offers a platform for exchanging ideas and networking with experts with different know-how.”
The SENSCUBATOR offers support through, among other things:
- Development of a transfer strategy
- Business model development with a focus on sustainability
- Market and IPResearch
- Financial support through the SENSCUBATOR Fund
- Support in identifying additional funding opportunities
- Access to expert knowledge and technical infrastructure
- Networking with partners from science and industry
Together for more innovation in sensor technology
SENSCUBATOR is part of the DATIpilot – Community funding program and aims to significantly accelerate the transfer of technology from public research to industrial application. SENSCUBATOR was selected as one of 20 communities from around 500 applications across Germany. The focus is on establishing sustainable structures and close cooperation between science and industry for an efficient, practice-oriented and long-term effective innovation process in the field of sensor technology. Supported by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space, up to 5 million euros in funding is available for the community over a period of four years.
On the one hand, the SENSCUBATOR focuses on supporting specific transfer projects. Through cooperation between transfer experts and researchers, support packages tailored to the individual needs of the scientists generating the ideas are put together. The transfer projects also benefit from a broad network of technical and methodological experts who can be specifically deployed in the funded projects. In addition to the HZDR, the network initially includes the TUC, the TUD, VEMASinnovativ and the Technologiezentrum Dresden and will be expanded by strategic partners.
