We are efficiently managing patentable technologies. By means of funds, know-how and a broad network, we have been transforming innovations into marketable technologies and products for more than two decades.
In the more than 20 years lasting history of our company we have learned what it needs to make innovations successful. At this, Patentpool acts as an interface to advance projects in the value chain.
Since 1998 we have been servicing selected innovations from future-oriented markets and are concerned to let investors partake in the resulting opportunities. For that matter, we have focused in particular on the following sectors.
Unlike conventional venture capital companies, we usually take over the operational management when implementing our projects. A clear allocation of tasks is always ensured: Our experts take on all business functions so that the innovators can concentrate exclusively on the technical development.
