Everything you always wanted to know about SPRIND (and never dared to ask): This was the intriguing title and motto of yesterday’s presentation from Barbara Diehl (SPRIND - Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen agency) held in the Start-up Labs Bahrenfeld. We had the pleasure of hosting the session with almost 20 participants who weren't shy at all to ask their questions about the various funding instruments of SPRIN-D, the Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation. The agency was set up in 2019 as a new funding body by the German government to decrease the risk of early-stage technology projects which are characterized by promising socioeconomic breakthrough potential. With the SPRIND Freedom Act, which was implemented in 2023, the agency is now able to support researchers and entities with bespoke solutions - ranging from financing validation studies, R&D phases, and product development until market readiness, plus giving additional individual support and access to their network. The audience learned that there are two ways of application for breakthrough innovation technologies: one bottom-up approach with open project applications, and one top-down approach called SPRIN-D challenges (or the little sister SPRIN-D Funke). Barbara Diehl emphasized that the agency is welcoming all kinds of projects regardless of the research field or form of entity, but that they are looking explicitly for ground-breaking technologies invented by teams who are fully dedicated and driven to create a positive impact from the science base. Thank you to Barbara Diehl for an inspiring and encouraging talk during which you could literally feel her passion for innovation. Thank you to all participants for many many questions and a lively discussion. And thank you to the Start-up Labs Bahrenfeld team for hosting our event.

I'm so proud of our team as a whole and our CTO Martijn Handels in particular for winning the title of Most Innovative Scale-up 2024 by the CIO community. We received the biggest compliment imaginable from a jury of industry experts who named Helin as the next "ASML". Although we are always looking forward, considering how we can improve our product, how to attract new clients, how to scale our team, etc., awards like these provide a good moment to pause for a millisecond and recognize where we are today. But, after that millisecond, you realize this is only the beginning. So, keep on rocking, team Helin! #nextasml #bestCIO #keeponinnovating
