RWTH Awards - We award your ideas

The award is given to researchers, students and staff of RWTH Aachen and Forschungszentrum Jülich, whose ideas contribute to the innovative and radiant power of the Aachen region. The goal is to embed the ideas of innovation and entrepreneurship throughout the university in order to support good research ideas with social impact and bring them to the market. The ideas are evaluated with reference to degree of innovation of the technology, social relevance of the technology field or area of application, technology readiness level, further development, market potential, and overall impression.

The Spin-off Award is the only official award for outstanding spin-offs at RWTH Aachen University. With this award, we give our spin-offs the opportunity to advertise with reference to RWTH Aachen University and thus to successfully start into the time after the foundation. The application is open to all spin-offs from RWTH Aachen University that are already formally founded at the time of application. At the same time, the year of foundation may not be more than two years ago. The award winners will be listed on the RWTH Aachen University website, making them easy to find, for example, for potential business partners.
