Spin-offs

PInK promotes entrepreneurship within the University by supporting the creation of spin-offs: companies born from the initiative and ideas of our researchers in order to offer products or services that transform scientific and technological know-how into marketable innovation.

Spin-offs promote contact between the university research facilities, the world of production and local institutions, with positive effects on industrial production and social well-being.
