CONOSCOPE GmbH
Apart from its cooperation with institutions, SEPT works with German and foreign enterprises.

These companies have each more than 10 years of experience in their respective fields and have common roots as they were all spin-offs from the University of Leipzig and concentrate their activities in Innovation Management. The company works with the objective to lead innovation for sustainable business success and implement innovation in these companies to ensure their long-term success. What drives CONOSCOPE is innovation in order to offer the customers a comprehensive, unique and compelling services portfolio, backed by data-oriented analysis of the business' situation. With this, appropriate strategies are developed and implemented.
