OUR JOURNEY
2026
Invest BW Funding
Prime Vector Technologies secured funding through the Invest BW Innovation IV program for the MucoShield project. Together with the NMI and Fraunhofer IGB, the company is developing an innovative intranasal ORFV-based vaccine candidate against human metapneumovirus (HMPV), advancing its platform technology toward clinical translation.

Phase I/IIa Clinical Trial Started
Following the successful first-in-human study, the Phase I/IIa clinical trial of Prime-2-CoV was initiated in collaboration with the Institute of Tropical Medicine at the University Hospital Tübingen. The study marks the next step in the clinical development of PRIME's proprietary ORFV platform technology
2025
Long-Term Stability Confirmed
Stability studies confirmed that GMP-manufactured PRIME-2-CoV remained stable for more than two years, demonstrating the robustness of the manufacturing process and supporting long-term storage.

2024
KMUi Funding
The Uni-FLU-Vacc project was launched by Prime Vector Technologies and the University Hospital Tübingen to develop a novel ORFV-based universal influenza vaccine candidate. The project is supported by more than €2.7 million in funding from the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space.

2023
2022
First Patient in
A major milestone was achieved with the initiation of the Phase I clinical trial of Prime-2-CoV, our multivalent COVID-19 vaccine candidate based on our proprietary ORFV platform technology. The trial was conducted at multiple sites across Europe and the United States in collaboration with the Institute of Tropical Medicine at the University Hospital Tübingen and Speransa Therapeutics.
2021
Strategic Collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim Vetmedica
A strategic collaboration, option and licence agreement was established with Boehringer Ingelheim to develop and evaluate vaccine candidates against a range of veterinary diseases using PRIME's proprietary ORFV platform technology.

2020
2nd place Science4Life Venture Cup
Recognized in Germany’s leading business plan competition for Life Sciences, Chemistry and Energy.

GMP Manufacturing Partnership with Oxford Biomedica
Together with the University Clinic of Tuebingen and Oxford Biomedica we joined forces to bring our second generation COVID-19 vaccine closer to the clinics. Funded by the BMWi and developed in close alignment with the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut, OXB will now develop and manufacture the vaccine candidate in preparation for clinical trials according to a process initially developed in collaboration with the TH Mittelhessen University of Applied Sciences.

Carl Zeiss Foundation Funding
Happy to announce that the Carl Zeiss Foundation committed to support our
COVID-19 vaccine development
with 150.000 €.
