“In this sense, MedUni Vienna has created an important production chain for spinoffs with the office for technology transfer and the FSB,” stresses Prof. Markus Müller, Head of the Research Support Unit. Beginning with various forms of protection of intellectual property and the development of a business plan onto negotiations concerning venture capital investments, MedUni Vienna’s service facilities support the business founders.
