SENSCUBATOR: Dresden universities unite science and business!
The Technical University of Dresden and partners are launching the SENSCUBATOR to promote sensor innovations and technology transfer.
SENSCUBATOR: Dresden universities unite science and business!
The Technical University of Dresden (TUD), the Technical University of Chemnitz (TUC) and the Helmholtz Center Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have launched a pioneering project called SENSCUBATOR. This research project aims to accelerate the competitive development of sensor systems and technology transfer to industry. A particular focus is on building a new community for sensor technology innovations, which is intended to strengthen the connection between science and business. Researchers are invited to submit their ideas for sensory-related transfer projects in order to share experiences and resources with each other [tu-dresden.de reports that...].
The first call for ideas offers a deadline ofJuly 13, 2025. The SENSCUBATOR provides a structured, cooperative transfer process that supports the project teams. The help offered includes the development of transfer strategies and business models with a focus on sustainability as well as comprehensive market and IP research. Financial support will be provided through the SENSCUBATOR fund while additional funding opportunities are identified. Participants also gain access to expert knowledge and technical infrastructure and are networked with partners from science and business.
Funding framework and support
The SENSCUBATOR is part of the DATIpilot – Community funding program and was selected as one of 20 projects from around 500 applications. The Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space is supporting this important project with up to5 million eurosover four years. In addition to the TUD, TUC and HZDR, the community also includes VEMASinnovativ and the Technology Center Dresden, which is expanded by strategic partners [tu-dresden.de reports that ...].
In addition, sensory research plays a central role in product development. An external expert panel to determine sensory product properties is used to carry out objective tests that accompany consumer studies for product optimization. Both qualitative and quantitative methods are used to research the attitudes and motives of end consumers. The expert panel works with an external consumer panel for online surveys and tastings as well as with professionally moderated focus groups to gain valuable insights into consumer behavior [bfh.ch provides information about...].
Technological innovation transfer
The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft's mission is to establish technological innovations in the economy and society. Developments include advanced approaches such as tumor detection through artificial intelligence and real-time control of factories via 5G technology. The organization emphasizes how important interdisciplinarity and exchange between science and business are in order to efficiently overcome central social challenges such as structural change and digitalization. In total there are more than480 spin-offshave emerged from this initiative since 2000, which act as a bridge between research and business and act as catalysts for the transfer of innovation [fraunhofer.de provides information about...].
