UU Innovation

Innovations for a better world – this is how UU Innovation can help

At Uppsala University, researchers and students from all over the world gather to create new knowledge and solutions to global challenges for a more sustainable future.

With support from UU Innovation in the early phases, new ideas and research results have the best possible conditions to be put to good use beyond academia for the benefit of people and society. Simply put, we help bridge the gap between research-based knowledge and real-world applications.

Our free support is available to everyone at Uppsala University and covers advice and coaching on idea development, patents and other intellectual property rights, agreements, building a strong network and team, and early-stage funding.

We know that no two innovation projects are the same and we do not tout off-the-shelf solutions. What’s more, we tailor our support so that people can continue their research or studies while developing their ideas.

We work closely with regional partners, such as UU Invest AB, UIC and Drivhuset Uppsala, that can help accelerate commercialisation and the development of new companies.
