Would you like to put your research into practice and set up a start-up? Then the JUNI Science-to-Venture Programme is just the thing for you. The programme is specifically designed for research-based teams looking to take the next step – from prototype to market-ready product.

Over a period of six months, JUNI supports you with a structured approach known as ‘Venture Architecture’. The aim is to bridge the critical gap between research and implementation and to prepare you optimally for your first round of funding.

What to expect:

• Team assessment and role clarification
• Market validation and customer access
• Development of a clear business model
• Preparation for investor meetings (VC readiness)

The programme is designed to be flexible and can be completed alongside your academic work.
