Dear Researcher,
The next Research to Business<https://www.businessfinland.fi/en/researchtobusiness> (ex. TUTLI) funding call will be arranged in Autumn 2021. The deadline for the project applications will be in mid September (exact date TBC).
In 2020, six teams from the University of Oulu got a total of 2.6M€ funding from the Research to Business funding calls. All the projects have now started and the teams are in full speed of preparing their research-based ideas for commercialisation. We are expecting new spin-off companies to emerge from the projects in 2022.
University Innovation Centre is now looking for new project ideas for the Autumn 2021 funding call. If you and your team have a research-based idea, please contact janne.haverinen(a)oulu.fi<mailto:janne.haverinen@oulu.fi> so we can start together exploring your idea and its market potential – the first step will be a short chat with you and your team.
University Innovation Centre is arranging Research to Business info events where you can learn more about the funding instrument and how to collaborate with the Innovation Centre to realise your idea. The Research to Business info dates and links are listed below – add one of the dates to your calendar and join us to learn more:
