The Road from Scientic Breakthrough …
… to commercial Success.

Company

…is stony, but without alternative to ensure long-term competitiveness.

We have walked down this road ourselves and like to invite outstanding scientists and purpose-driven investors to join us in accompanying successful companies on their path to self-sufficiency. In doing so, we strengthen the competitiveness and resilience of our economy.

MARATHON puts emphasis on technical originality, quality, and scientific excellence.

Superior products for relevant unmet needs always have their value and price.

Cooperation between mind and money, rather than confrontation, and endurance to go all the way.

Welcome to MARATHON

What drives us?

Every productive society requires a successful economy as foundation for its services to the public. This is not only true with regard to financing education, healthcare, infrastructure, and administration, but above all it ensures a positive identification of the population with their commonwealth, in short, societal contentment.

Innovation cycles tend to render established large companies and their products regularly obsolete, as – in the pursuit of profit maximization – research and development budgets are systematically being cut back. In order to maintain long-term economic performance and diversity, therefore, it is necessary to found and empower new companies, to bring their products successfully to the commercial stage, allowing them to stay independent, without becoming themselves the merchandise.

Innovative products and services addressing hitherto unmet needs are typically developed by dedicated scientists and engineers.

A fair trade-off between mind („patents“) and money („investors“) forms the basis for a broad societal participation in economic success.

Marathon is committed to this principle.
