Labs to Market

Labs to Market je vsakoletni program, ki povezuje raziskovalce, ki želijo svoje inovacije prenesti iz laboratorijev, delavnic in garaž na trg, s podjetniki, ki imajo izkušnje s poslovnim razvojem; kreativnimi posamezniki, ki želijo svoje spretnosti in znanje aplicirati na znanstvene in tehnološke inovacije; ter ambicioznimi študenti, ki želijo pridobiti praktične izkušnje pri soustvarjanju inovativnih rešitev.

Tech Show, zaključek Labs to Market 2025: Ko znanost dobi podjetniške supermoči

Včeraj smo zaključili še eno izjemno generacijo programa Labs to Market, ki pod okriljem LUI in ob podpori EIT Health že šesto leto zapored pomaga raziskovalcem narediti najtežji korak: iz laboratorija na trg. Letos je na oder stopilo osem interdisciplinarnih ekip, ki so svoje prebojne tehnologije nadgradile s poslovnim, oblikovalskim in podjetniškim znanjem — in pokazale, da ima slovenska znanost pogum, ambicijo in globalni potencial.

Medtem, ko se bomo na prvem srečanju osredotočili na to, kateri kupci, trgi in priložnosti imajo največ potenciala, je drugi dogodek namenjen naslednjemu ključnemu koraku: validaciji.
