Stay in Science. Start a Business. Or Both?
How can female scientists turn their research into impact—without necessarily leaving academia?
At this year’s Female Entrepreneurship Lunch Special, we explore the many paths that connect science and entrepreneurship: from starting a company to serving as a scientific co-founder or advancing technology transfer.
The program includes:
Impulse Talk by Fabia Gozzo, Founder and CEO of Excelsus Structural Solutions
Panel discussion with Fabia Gozzo, Katarzyna Polak-Kraśna (Sensimply/Hereon), Hiba El Hjajbi (Zymbiox), and Stephanie Maier (DESY), moderated by Saiva Huck (DESY)
Networking lunch with the science and startup community
Join us for personal insights, new perspectives, and inspiring conversations!
A joint event hosted by the DESY 's Start-up Office and Start-up Labs Hamburg, as part of Female Entrepreneurship Week, organized by HAW Hamburg and Startup Port.
