The Start-up and Innovation Centre.
Start-up and innovation in the heart of Kassel
The Science Park Kassel is an innovation and start-up centre on the North Campus of the University of Kassel. Since 2015, we have been offering over 6,000 m² of office and workshop space for spin-offs of the University of Kassel and for companies seeking proximity to the university. In addition, our conference area is ideal for events of all kinds and is regularly used by companies from all over Germany.
“We make ideas successful”
As a start-up and innovation centre, our focus is on “making ideas successful!”. The professional and creative environment and the proximity to the university make the Science Park the perfect location for innovative start-ups from all areas of the university. Based on campus, our central task is the transfer of knowledge between university and business. In this way, we support entrepreneurs from the idea to the establishment on the market. Thanks to our regional and national networks and the 40 or so start-ups on site, we are also the perfect place to make valuable contacts.
The Science Park represents the interface between the university and Kassel’s start-up scene.

City of Kassel
With the Science Park, the city of Kassel wants to actively contribute to creating the best possible environment for young people from the university who want to put their ideas into practice through professional independence or business start-ups. The aim is to keep graduates in the region, create attractive jobs and benefit the city as a whole in its economic, social, cultural and ecological development. The City of Kassel has therefore invested seven million euros in the construction of the Science Park.
University of Kassel
The University of Kassel sees itself as a major driving force for the economic, social, ecological and cultural development of the region of North Hesse. Accordingly, the transfer of knowledge in close connection with the core tasks of research and teaching has a high strategic importance. The Science Park Kassel is the place and the symbol of the practised transfer of knowledge of the University of Kassel with its partners from all areas of society.
