Research-driven insights shaping startup success
As a startup and co-innovation hub in Heilbronn our vision is to become the first choice for founders wanting to create an impactful future.
In this context, we strive to offer a holistic entrepreneurial support system to empower the next generation of innovators and at the same time support research on key aspects of entrepreneurial activities. Our focus is on supporting studies at the intersection of research and practice that shall ultimately enable success of startups.
Transfer Concept
We support research on entrepreneurial activities in the capacity of a non-profit practice partner. As a practice partner, we are interested in the effective transfer of research findings where transfer is understood as the application of knowledge produced through basic research. This means research findings and insights are converted into actionable formats that can be potentially implemented or tested. The test results are evaluated and fed back into research. Thereby, establishing a dynamic link between research and practice. Such cooperation projects are also expected to provide an impetus for pursuing new scientific questions in entrepreneurship research.

Ongoing Cooperation Projects
The Entrepreneurship Research Lab (ERLab) aims to analyze and research entrepreneurial ecosystems as the basis of entrepreneurship. We have three doctoral researchers that are supervised by the chairs at the European University of Viadrina. As a practice partner, Campus Founders supports empirical research and in co-developing meaningful transfer formats.
