What we do
Delft Enterprises participates in innovative, early stage and technology-based spin off companies of Delft University of Technology. We aim to empower and speed up the development of these startups, as part of the ambition of the university to turn scientific knowledge into economic and social value. We achieve this through investment, advice and a broad network of investors and experts.
Breakthrough innovation
We translate technical knowledge into economic and social value, with a focus on deep tech: radical innovations that can solve major societal challenges. By commercialising science, we contribute to the mission of TU Delft: creating impact for a better society.
Entrepreneurship
We support entrepreneurial employees to turn a great idea into a successful company. From invention to patent and from strategy to startup: Delft Enterprises is the starting point for entrepreneurial employees of TU Delft.
Funding
We provide financing and build a network of investors and partners. To offer promising technology the chance it deserves, the TU Delft also participates in several funds and offers the possibility to apply for early stage funding instruments.
Transparency
We use the transparent deal term principles for the transfer of intellectual property to university spin-offs. The deal terms aim to speed up the negotiation process between universities and young companies, increasing the chances of growth and success.
