Our Mission

Our goal is to enable all people in the university community to become creative and to try things out away from familiar paths and structures. This can lead to start-up projects, new products and services, or a more precise idea of what one would like to do after graduation, for example. In any case, they gain experience about themselves, about working in projects and in a team.

The following values are important to us:

 

Icon Vertrauen schüttelnde Hände

Trust

We handle your idea with confidence.

Icon Wertfreiheit ausgeglichene Waage

Value neutrality

We are unbiased towards your ideas

Icon Ehrlichkeit Hand auf dem Herz

Icon Empathie 2 Personen Hand auf der Schulter

Icon Transparenz zwei Sprechblasen

Icon Toleranz Weltkugel

Icon Diversität Stern

Our Vision

We actively work towards making our university an innovative, start-up-friendly and creative place. We  shape this place by opening up spaces that promote creativity, are inclusive and inspiring. As contact persons, we support people who want to try out new things, develop their skills or create something new.

We promote the start-up potential of Bochum University of Applied Sciences and the transfer of research and development results into entrepreneurial projects. In particular, we support social and sustainable innovations as well as technology-oriented and knowledge-intensive start-ups.
