We had a fantastic evening with great startups and a super motivated community!

On top of that, in an innovative setting – the livMats Shell at Living, Adaptive and Energy-autonomous Materials Systems (livMatS). Many thanks to Prof. Thomas Speck for making the Shell available and to Prof. Jürgen Rühe for his introductory words on this exceptional building.

We are very happy that we have succeeded in providing a platform for students and young researchers who are interested in innovation and spin-offs. Thank you for all your thoughtful und interesting questions! You were a fantastic audience. It was great talking to you at the BBQ and share a beer with you.

A big thank you goes to our guests at the panel discussion Najoua Bolakhrif (GLAPE), Natalie Garzorz-Stark (Dermagnostix), Markus Ihmsen (FIFTY2 Technology GmbH), Roland Zengerle (Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg) and our colleague Frauke Lorenzen for the organization and moderation of this event.

And of course we would also like to thank the Technische Fakultät der Universität Freiburg and our dear colleagues Kerstin Steiger-Merx and Svenja Andresen for patronizing the first BBQ and supporting us with lots of help and advice.
Support also came from the Startups Freiburg / Startinsland community. It was great to have you: BadenCampus and Foundersclub Freiburg e.V.! Thanks also to Unternehmenszeit e.V. for the financial support!

After this great start, a follow-up is certain!
The next BBQ will take place at the Faculty of Biology in September. We’ll keep you up to date!
