This year\u2019s edition focused on ways to finance science-based start-ups. Jointly organised by EMBL, EMBLEM Technology Transfer GmbH (the commercial arm and exclusive technology transfer partner of EMBL), Helmholtz-Zentrum Hereon, and the DESY Start-up Office, the event brought together scientists, entrepreneurs, and innovation professionals eager to translate research into commercial success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The day opened with a warm welcome from Christina Frehse, Head of Start-up Labs Hamburg, who provided an inspiring overview of the lab\u2019s capabilities and highlighted the dynamic ecosystem it fosters for start-ups and innovators in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the introduction, Wienke Reynolds, CTO and Co-founder of Lignopure and a bioprocess engineer with a PhD in biorefinery technology from TU Hamburg, delivered the keynote speech titled \u2018Lignin-Based Cosmetics: Challenges of Bringing a Long-Cherished Idea from Bioeconomy Research to Life\u2019. Reynolds shared her experience turning cutting-edge bioeconomy research into a start-up, highlighting the challenges and opportunities of commercialising sustainable materials derived from lignin, a natural component of woody biomass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event then moved into a panel discussion, \u2018Pioneering Progress: Insights from Deep Tech Founders &amp; Funders\u2019, moderated by J\u00fcrgen Bauer, Deputy Managing Director of EMBLEM. The panel brought together experienced start-up founders and funders sharing candid insights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rositsa Jordanova, EMBL alumna and CEO\/Co-founder of Protyon, emphasised the value of institutional support and partnerships in bringing deep tech to market.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lukas Gaats, CEO\/Co-founder of MO:RE, stressed early market understanding and the importance of building a strong, complementary team.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Victor Izraylit, Founder of Memorthotic, offered lessons on overcoming hurdles in the pre-founding phase.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mika M\u00e4nz, CEO\/Founder of acitoflux and deeptech investor, emphasised the importance of adaptability in entrepreneurship, highlighting that the ability to quickly adjust strategies and pivot is essential, as it helps build trust with investors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thomas Wille, Innovation Manager at SPRIND, spoke about how strategic public funding can ignite bold ideas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>During the discussion, J\u00fcrgen Bauer underscored EMBLEM\u2019s commitment to supporting scientists in their entrepreneurial journeys: \u201cTurning scientific ideas into start-ups requires not only great research but also expert guidance on business development and fund raising. EMBLEM plays a vital role in providing such expertise to EMBL\u2019s entrepreneurs, empowering researchers to translate their discoveries into impactful innovations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The highlight of the event was the interactive networking session, featuring two formats: a fast-paced <em>Speed Dating<\/em> room and a more in-depth <em>Slow Dating<\/em> room. Both were designed to connect participants with a diverse range of funding and startup experts \u2013 from early-stage investors and public funding agencies to start-up advisors and tech transfer professionals. This dynamic setup enabled scientists and entrepreneurs at various stages of their journey to receive personalised advice, explore financing strategies, and build meaningful connections. Many praised these sessions for their practicality and impact. One participant noted, <em>\u201c<\/em>In just minutes, I received practical guidance that would have taken me months to find on my own<em>.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The day concluded with closing remarks and an informal BBQ, fostering further conversation and community building among attendees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The \u2018From Lab to Launch\u2019 event continues to be a cornerstone for the local scientific and entrepreneurial community. By providing access to expert knowledge, funding insights, and meaningful networking, it inspires and equips the next generation of science-driven entrepreneurs to turn their ideas into successful ventures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2025 edition of &#8216;From Lab to Launch&#8217; brought together scientists and entrepreneurs at Start-up Labs Hamburg to explore funding pathways for science-based startups.
