Have an idea
you want to develop?
LU Innovation System is the hub for innovation and
commercialisation at Lund University. We help ­researchers
and students to convert research results into ­successful
new products, services or methods on the market.
We do this by providing important contacts, business
­development, advice on patents, legal and contract
­issues, funding, and more.
Our aim is for knowledge from the University to contribute to the creation of jobs and growth, while helping
valuable innovations to benefit society more quickly.
We also have good contact with established companies
and organisations that are interested in close collaboration with academia. These contacts give access to unique
­expertise and new opportunities to develop their business.
LU Innovation System supports all the universities in the
region.
LU Innovation System can invest in and support companies
through the holding company LU Innovation System AB.
