Free State of Saxony is looking for the Foundress of 2018
"Saxony is characterised by an immense share of female power. Ambitious Saxon foundresses have evinced this over and over again with their zest for action. Their economic commitment not only deserves public recognition, but can also encourage others to make the first step towards self-employment. It takes a great amount of courage to turn visions into reality. Many women in Saxony do have this courage. They convert their ideas into viable concepts, found their own businesses and assume responsibility for employees", explains Saxon State Minister for Equality and Integration, Petra Köpping.

P.S.: In 2017, Nadine Schmieder-Galfe of the TUD spin-off Zellmechanik Dresden GmbH received the flowers and the Female Founders Award. Her enterprise has developed equipment, which can discover abnormal cell structures within milliseconds. The expert calls the device "AcCellator" – and it is said to have the potential for a worldwide revolution of blood and cellular diagnostics... The Dresden Transfer Bulletin recently reported in its issue "Leuchtturm Biotechnologie" [Lighthouse Biotechnology] about the high-tech start-up on the Dresden Biotechnology campus.
TU Dresden Transfer Office supported and accompanied the courageous founder Nadine Schmieder-Galfe and her team throughout the spin-off process. ewri
