We are honored to have hosted the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, at xista.   Together with xista MD Markus Wanko, the Commission President, the Minister of Finance Magnus Brunner, and ISTA President Martin Hetzer, discussed success factors and challenges in spin-off generation and growth, ranging from university incentives to capital market challenges.   A thriving innovation ecosystem, such as xista, fosters innovation, eases the path from scientific research to industrial application, and supports the growth of European spin-off companies. Institute of Science and Technology Austria and xista are primary examples of effective support from the European level: From ERC funding for research, EFRE funding for the translational lab facilities, EIC for our portfolio companies, and the EIF investment in xista science ventures.   We are honored by this recognition and look forward to many years of building and expanding this vibrant ecosystem. © Anna Stöcher | ISTA #xista #TechTransfer #ISTA #EIF #InvestEU
