You can take all your questions about the potential of your finding to the TU/e Innovation Lab, which is located in the MultiMedia Pavilion (MMP) on the TU/e campus. Here they will find out in consultation with you whether your finding has sufficient potential to start up an enterprise of your own. If it does, you start writing a business plan, whereby you can also ask for assistance. When you have completed your business plan, you can turn to the Incubator3+ foundation for financing, coaching, accommodation and an important network. Before becoming a member of the foundation, you present your plan. On the basis of that plan the foundation decides whether you will be admitted, and whether it wants to back you up financially. In the Netherlands the formal way of setting up an enterprise runs via the Chamber of Commerce, which is located in the Kennispoort building on the TU/e campus. (HB)
