HZDR at Saxon Innovation Conference 2025

At this year’s futureSAX – the innovation platform of the Free State of Saxony Innovation Conference – the HZDR was present with numerous contributions and actively helped shape the program:

✨ Dr. Anne Richter, Shengqiang Zhou, Mohd Saif Shaikh, and Shilpa Sharma enriched the HAFIS – Helmholtz Academy for Intrapreneurship Impact Day with exciting ideas.

🔬 In the workshop “Rethinking Technologies and Opening Up New Fields of Application,” Jonathan Engelhardt showed how we can shape the future.

🤝 During the exchange of experiences in the “Innovators Lab” workshop, Dorit Teichmann provided valuable impetus for the transfer between science and industry.

🎓 A special highlight: the presentation of certificates to the participants of the Future Career Program (FCP) Innovation by Veronika Körösi (Career Center) and Anne Richter (HZDR Innovators School) – a strong sign of the connection between career and innovation.

🏆 Last but not least, the presentation of the Saxon State Prizes for Entrepreneurship, Transfer, and Innovation: Even though we were unable to take home the transfer prize in the Patent Utilization category for our spin-off TECHiFAB, we are proud to be part of this vibrant innovation community!
