Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) sees itself as an integral part of society with which it works closely and openly; it perceives knowledge transfer as one of its primary objectives.
The Technology Transfer Office at JGU provides active support during the course of these processes and acts as interface between science and business. It is the central point of contact between companies and the university.
The Startup Center of JGU, which is part of the joint Mainz Office of Entrepreneurship (Hochschulübergreifendes Gründungsbüro), facilitates the establishment of spin-offs. In addition, JGU participates in the pilot phase of Young Entrepreneurs in Science (YES), a continuing education program established by the Falling Walls Foundation.
JGU received national recognition for its transfer activities thanks to the success of the Mainz Research Alliance while competing for the 2011 "City of Science" title. In 2017, the university successfully underwent an audit by the Stifterverband; as a result JGU plans to extend its knowledge transfer activities and to align them with a strategic focus.
