The GCRI’s web presence is an information platform for individuals who are interested in the German science and innovation landscape and wish to conduct research or business in Germany.
The “Funding & Research” section of the website provides information about the wide variety of funding opportunities for entrepreneurs at both the state and federal levels in Germany. Many of the innovative institutions mentioned on these pages not only provide funding for entrepreneurs, they also assist with the funding application process and provide support setting up a new business or expanding existing facilities.
The new pages feature detailed filters by funding category, topic, or state to help navigate the comprehensive data. Currently, the entrepreneurship funding database contains over 130 records. More institutions will be added as information becomes available. The institutional competencies range from consulting to legal support and include fields such as engineering, manufacturing, and urban development. A brief introduction provides basic information about each of the institutions as well as a link to its website.
The German Center for Research and Innovation provides information and support for the realization of cooperative and collaborative projects between North America and Germany. With the goal of enhancing communication on the critical challenges of the 21st century, the GCRI hosts a wide range of events from lectures and exhibitions to workshops and science dinners. Opened in February 2010, the GCRI was created as a cornerstone of the German government’s initiative to internationalize science and research and is one of five centers worldwide.
