We are committed to fostering a culture of entrepreneurship and innovation, with a strong focus on bringing our cutting-edge research to applications. To date, our research has led to the formation of several start-ups and collaborations with industry partners. We provide resources and support to help our researchers explore commercial opportunities and bring their technologies to market, with the potential to contribute to societal progress and technological development.
As a founding partner and co-initiator of Cyber Valley, a leading research cluster in artificial intelligence and robotics, we have created a vibrant ecosystem that brings together academia, industry, and government to drive innovation and economic growth.
