Maybe you’ve seen glimpses of what we do at Silicon Allee at Fraunhofer HHI - or heard about us but weren’t sure how to get involved. This is your chance to get the full picture.
What we do
We offer deep tech startups access to the resources, infrastructure, and expertise of Fraunhofer HHI - one of Germany’s leading applied research institutes - without the usual licensing fees or IP restrictions of spinouts.
Instead of taking equity upfront, we use virtual shares — a clean, founder-friendly model that keeps your cap table VC-ready while giving Fraunhofer a stake only if you succeed.
Over 12 months, we help founders build defensible technology in AI, photonics, quantum, video, and communications — with tailored guidance and the goal of raising €1M+ by the end.
What we’ll cover:
🔍 What we offer and how it supports deep tech startups
✅ Who it’s for (and who it’s not)
📝 How the application works + what we look for
💡 How virtual shares and IP actually work
