GAIN movie “From Bench To Business’

From bench to business – Ideas of young startup founders

Whether it’s in the life sciences, IT, humanities, social sciences, or natural sciences, startups take research and carry it from the lab or library out into the world! While some projects, such as medicine or alternative energy, lend themselves to obvious applications, others require more visionary thinking to get them to market.

The inaugural GAIN Young Innovators Showcase at the annual conference in San Francisco 2019 featured the ideas of young startup founders who made the leap from bench to business. In a presentation, they introduced their research-based innovation and talked about the career paths that led them to become entrepreneurs.

The GAIN movie “From bench to business” calls attention to these young innovators and was designed to inspire the next generation of thought leaders from all parts of the scientific spectrum to follow their inspiration and adopt the entrepreneurial mindset in their own career paths.

The GAIN Young Innovators Showcase was supported by the German Center for Research and Innovation (DWIH) New York and the German Accelerator Silicon Valley. Moderated was the event by the former DWIH director Dr. Gerrit Roessler.

The movie was created by the video journalist Thomas Lemmer.
