> About the Organisers
Ascenion GmbH is an IP asset management agency focused on the life sciences. Ascenion was founded in 2001 as a 100% subsidiary of the Life-Science Foundation for the Promotion of Science and Research and has since acquired 12 research institutes in the Helmholtz and Leibniz Associations and also the Hanover Medical School as exclusive partners.
On behalf of these institutes, Ascenion currently markets around 600 technologies and closes an average of about 60 agreements between research and industry per year. The team has also accompanied numerous spin-offs through their foundation and early growth and Ascenion holds equity in 12 of these companies. To date, nearly 4 million Euros were forwarded to the Life-Science Foundation, the majority coming from exit proceeds. Ascenion’s headquarters are in Munich, with further offices in Berlin, Braunschweig, Hamburg, Hanover and Neuherberg.
