At least three project partners
Find at least three project partners who can support your project idea with their know-how - collaboration between business, science and know-how. Any company, size and sector are welcome, but the project team must consist of at least two commercial enterprises and one transfer partner (university, research institute or similar). We are happy to help you find the perfect project team.

All project partners must be members of East Side Fab in order to initiate an innovation project - a partnership is not sufficient. Membership must be in place by the start of the project at the latest.

We boost innovations! Therefore, your project idea must have a certain degree of innovation or novelty. Our Innovation Manager Lukas can tell you more about this.
