Sponsors and Partners

Finding Sponsors

Participation in the iGEM competition is extremely expensive and must be fully self-financed. The costs include participation fees, departure to the competitions and accommodation during the competition, not including the costs for laboratory materials. The finances to cover the costs must be organized by the team, which is only possible through the financial support of sponsors.
Therefore, the search for sponsors is an essential task in the first months of the competition. Numerous phone calls, emails and presentations are needed to find enough supporters.

In this sense, the iGEM Team Bielefeld wants to thank the following sponsors and partners for their support.
