The Agency for Breakthrough Innovation ("Agentur fuer Sprunginnovation" or SprinD GmbH, founded: October 2019, headquarters: Leipzig) has the task of identifying promising technological innovations at research institutions, universities and in industry and making them commercially successful. The underlying understanding of breakthrough Innovation ("Sprunginnovation") is as follows: "A breakthrough innovation is a radical, groundbreaking innovation that changes our lives for the better in a sustainable way.".
The Agency is managed by Raphael Laguna de la Vera. The agency is endowed with approximately one billion euros in funding. Click here for the website: sprind.org.
