START:IP supports the commercialization of exciting research results by connecting providers of cutting-edge technologies from academic or industrial research with interested founders, corporations and investors.

Patented cutting-edge technologies from academic or industrial research and development were identified and evaluated for their commercial potential and are now waiting to be discovered and transformed into groundbreaking innovations by founders, entrepreneurs and investors.

At the START:IP Matching Day, we bring technology providers and interested parties together in person to discuss detailed technological questions and possible applications. The goal is to bring the technology to market maturity in a suitable cooperation.

The Matching Day is THE event for

• Companies in search of innovations
• Founders in search of a founding idea
• Investors in search of promising opportunities
• Researchers in search of possible applications

What technologies are there to discover?

In the technology portfolio here on the website, you can find out about the technologies presented in advance and even contact the suppliers prior to the event!

On the Matching Day, scientists present their technologies and are also available for questions and initial discussions. The event will take place live on site as part of ViennaUP'22 and will also be livestreamed. Onsite attendees will receive access to the recordings.
