Transferring our research into applications and products is one of CISPA's core tasks. In this way, we ensure that the economy and society at large can benefit from pioneering innovations, state-of-the-art technologies, and our latest research findings. We share our research results with the public through knowledge transfer, while also making them amenable to commercial utilization through technology transfer.
Foundational research is the basis of many innovations. Startups represent an opportunity to create added value for society and the economy by commercializing these innovations. For this reason, CISPA helps scientists to transfer their research into new business models and builds a venture ecosystem. The CISPA Incubator supports this with a wide range of workshops and consulting services. In this way, CISPA promotes entrepreneurship in the field of IT security.
To us, CISPA is an environment in which a radical security idea is not only supported, but also rigorously challenged. For a deep-tech startup, this is extremely valuable. If you want to build a new security category, you do not need an environment that only applauds, but one that critically questions technological claims. This sparring is exactly what helps us to further sharpen our architecture, security argumentation, and priorities.
We really value the connection with CISPA and the opportunity to engage in high-level research. The exchange between researchers who bring in new ideas and a company that can quickly test them is a win-win situation.
The collaboration with CISPA is primarily strategic and network-based. It strengthens our position in trustworthy, explainable, and secure AI, enabling exchange with leading players from research, deep tech, and the public sector.
