Campus Technologies Freiburg (CTF) GmbH has served as the innovation agency of the University of Freiburg and the Freiburg University Medical Center since 2001. Today, we also support other universities and private companies. Our team of ten offers comprehensive IP services, ranging from the initial evaluation of inventions and the management of patent portfolios to commercialization through out-licensing or spin-offs. We support all academic disciplines – from Life Sciences to IT.
Our guiding principle: An invention on paper is not yet an innovation. Only when ideas are transformed into new products or services do they become true innovations.
Our Vision
CTF GmbH is one of Germany’s leading innovation agencies, with a track record of over twenty years helping bring university inventions and innovations into practical application for the benefit of society. We leverage our extensive expertise to identify the most promising ideas and concepts from university research results, inventions, and data. Over the years, we have built lasting trust with our partners and clients, paving the way for successful collaborations, products, and services. Both researchers and companies value our individualized support, collaborative approach, and deep expertise.
Our Mission
For our customers and shareholders, we create the essential conditions for an innovative, market-oriented environment, enabling knowledge and results from basic research to make a real-world impact. We think entrepreneurially and provide extensive expertise, financial resources, and a unique network to ensure the successful translation of outstanding research results.
A particular priority for us is offering support that is precisely tailored to each project, caring for the researchers and employees of our clients and shareholders on an individual basis. We see ourselves as a speedboat – bringing relevant technologies to market quickly and efficiently.
