Your bridge builder ...
... between science and business
With the aim of commercializing new technologies and products, InnovationLab offers its customers and partners comprehensive consulting and services.
As a problem solver and accelerator, we pave the way from the idea, through research and development, to the transfer to industrial production - from "Lab2Fab".
Our "one-stop store" offers companies, research groups, spin-offs and start-ups a unique infrastructure with state-of-the-art laboratories and equipment as well as an interdisciplinary working environment for their research and development.
In the field of life science technologies, we provide technology scouting, support in the acquisition of funding and licensing, organize workshops with renowned speakers and participants and thus ensure the networking of all players along the entire value chain. Our established network in the industry and our regular exchange with social institutions and politics is our unique selling point.

"In life science technologies, there is a valley between developers and users of technology. Only a few of the many fantastic system solutions reach application. Why? Because they do not meet the requirements of the application in hospitals, for example: too time-consuming, not intuitive and simply too complicated. This valley must be bridged - and at an early stage. The needs of clinics must be recognized during development and incorporated into the system solution. Research and development in life science technologies must be geared towards the reality of a clinic. Only then can they produce successful innovations."

Cluster of Excellence 3D Matter Made to Order (3DMM2O)
InnovationLab as a bridge builder for three-dimensional additive manufacturing technologies
The Cluster of Excellence has been jointly funded by Heidelberg University and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology since 2018. The 3DMM2O cluster uses an interdisciplinary approach of natural sciences and engineering to research three-dimensional additive manufacturing techniques - from the molecular level to macroscopic dimensions. One goal is the complete digitalization of 3D manufacturing and material processing.
With the new infrastructure, InnovationLab will offer around 40 research places for the scientists of the 3DMM20 Cluster of Excellence. In addition to using S1/S2 laboratories, the researchers will work on a new microfabrication tool. The QuantumX from the company Nanoscribe uses the technique of two-photon polymerization (2PP). With this technique, users can produce microstructures with an accuracy of a few nanometers. This opens up new application possibilities in photonics, microfluidics and biology.
Our research infrastructure
Our laboratories are specially tailored to the needs of research groups, start-ups and spin-offs. We operate fully equipped ISO class 7 clean rooms, ISO class 5 yellow rooms, S1 and S2 laboratories for biological and chemical work, physics laboratories for the laser and electronics sector, as well as office workstations and coworking spaces on a total area of around 6,200 square meters.

Successful workshop
Nano- and microsystems engineering for life science technologies
In February 2024, InnovationLab hosted a workshop focusing on non-invasive oncological test procedures. Representatives from Heidelberg University, DKFZ Heidelberg, Heidelberg University Hospital, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Freiburg University Hospital, University of Stuttgart, University of Münster and Hahn-Schickard-Gesellschaft für angewandte Forschung met to exchange ideas. The participants also included protagonists from industry and the start-up scene: VERAXA Biotech GmbH, faCellitate GmbH, temicon GmbH, Actome GmbH and B9Creations.
