FEI achieves success at Spin-off Academy 2026

Spin-off Academy connects researchers with business experts, investors, and mentors in the field of technology transfer. Participants gain practical experience and concrete know-how necessary for establishing and developing university spin-off companies.

This year’s programme brought together 16 teams with their own projects and was designed to accelerate both entrepreneurial skills and project development—from idea validation to pitching in front of investors.

At the final Demo Day, the FEI representatives were awarded 3rd place by a panel of investors, who evaluated not only the market potential of the project but also the teams’ presentation and business skills.

This achievement highlights the faculty’s growing focus on technology transfer and the development of entrepreneurial activities among its students and staff.
