Hermann Hauser Investment

Hermann Hauser Investment is an investment company based in Innsbruck that backs early-stage, science-based and deep-technology ventures, with a primary focus on the DACH region - Germany, Austria and Switzerland - and Central Europe. The firm's stated remit is to support science-based entrepreneurship, including university spin-offs and research-led companies, in moving from idea to market with entrepreneurial support and networks.

Sector coverage is concentrated in technical domains: artificial intelligence, quantum computing, synthetic biology, electronics, operating systems, computing and digital health. Vertical applications span life sciences and healthcare, digital health, mobility and communication, and computing and AI. The firm describes its target as deep technology, a category that typically encompasses ventures commercialising academic or laboratory research.

Geographically, the firm's presence extends beyond the DACH region to Cambridge, reflecting a longstanding network connection to the UK university and research cluster. That link, combined with its emphasis on university research commercialisation, positions the firm at the intersection of Central European and Cambridge-originated science entrepreneurship.

Fund size, team composition, founding date and typical check size are not publicly disclosed. Further detail is available via the firm's website at hhi.ventures.
