Hightech Incubator

Incubator program for high-tech startups and founders

An initiative of TRIDELTA CAMPUS.

Our Incubator Program offers a unique platform for startups and founders. Here in Europe's leading center for hightech ceramics, we have created the optimal conditions to realize thousands of new products.

As part of the high-tech maker family, a startup benefits from the flexible, medium-sized company structure, excellent manufacturing know-how and many years of experience in research and development. This unique cooperation triangle at TRIDELTA CAMPUS enables ideas to become reality.

With help of our program, founders turn small ideas into products and innovations.

Innovation and Spirit of research

Our region is characterized by a unique blend of tradition, innovation and spirit of research, which also shapes the exceptional working atmosphere at TRIDELTA CAMPUS. The future is created here and now. At TRIDELTA CAMPUS, we create market-leading technology solutions for an international clientele.

Thanks to short distances and a collaborative CAMPUS spirit, we achieve success in research and development, in attracting young talents, and in topics relevant to the location.

Europe's leading center for hightech ceramics thus offers the best conditions for setting up a company.

Networking and Cooperation

At TRIDELTA CAMPUS, startups benefit especially from networking with high-tech companies. Through our established connections, young entrepreneurs gain access to valuable on-site collaborations and partnerships; for example, through events and functions such as the CAMPUS Café, CEO rounds or other formats.

Opportunities for cooperation arise, for example, with regard to research and development topics, in customer or supplier relationships, and even in joint supply chain solutions.

Both for companies that are in the process of being spun off, for example with a funding program, and for startups that have already been founded - TRIDELTA CAMPUS offers a wide range of opportunities for the next stage of development.

Mentoring und Consulting

Startups receive a special form of encouragement through support and consulting of our business angels. With their extensive competencies, business angels at TRIDELTA CAMPUS help to successfully develop and scale companies, for example in terms of leadership, visionary entrepreneurship and technology development.

The business angels bring valuable know-how as well as an extensive network of contacts to the program. Through their participation as mentors and coaches, they support startups in their strategic orientation, development of business plans and scaling of their companies. This support enables founders to significantly increase their chances of success, shorten the learning curve and make valuable contacts.

Exclusive coaching with CAMPUS Business Angels

The Business Angels at TRIDELTA CAMPUS have extensive experience in various areas of expertise and have built thriving companies themselves. As successful entrepreneurs, they bring their significant experience to the Incubator Program and support startups in the initial phase during and after their founding, as well as expansions.
