Start your own company or social enterprise

Are you considering to start a company or social enterprise? We provide hands-on guidance, from initial exploration to launching your venture.

To get started

If your research leads to a product, service, or innovation, VU IXA-GO can help you decide whether to partner with an existing company or launch your own company or social enterprise.

Business planning

We support you in developing business models and drafting a business plan. Want to dive deeper? Find everything you need to get started in: VU spin-off brochure.

Incubator facilities

  • Find the space, technical support, and access to university infrastructure to turn ideas into tangible products or services in Demonstrator Lab
  • For already established startups, the StartHub is there.

Using a patent in a spin-off 

Do you have a patented invention and are you considering a spin-off? We’re ready to work with you and help bring your innovation to the market. 

If your invention is patented, the knowledge institution can license it to your spin-off. The license grants market access in exchange for a fee (royalties, shares, or both) and includes agreements on use, exclusivity, and development speed. The institution always retains rights for research and education purposes. 

Do you want to know more? We’re happy to help. Please contact VU IXA-GO
