Research to Business

Tampere University is committed to supporting new business creation and startups born out of research. Our Innovation Services unit helps researchers identify funding opportunities, explore the commercial potential of their research findings, license their findings and protect their intellectual property. In addition, Innovation Services keeps investors and external stakeholders up to date with ongoing research to business (R2B) projects. More information and contacts: inventions@tuni.fi

What are R2B projects all about?

Research groups and researchers that are looking to turn their research into a business and commercialise their research-based ideas and innovations can apply for funding from Business Finland through the Research to Business (R2B) programme.

We offer company partners access to the latest knowledge and innovations to support their business.

Business developers: We are periodically looking for business developers to support the commercialisation of innovations born out of research. They will be tasked with exploring and building pathways to commercialisation. At the moment there are no open positions.
