VENTURE BUILDING

Capturing, securing, and sharing the value of our innovations.

Accompanying projects from inception to commercialization

Our business development activities are integral to translating cutting-edge research into real-world solutions for patients with neurological and mental health disorders. We not only dedicate our resources to nurturing research projects for 3 to 5 years, but also guide them toward their next phase of growth.

Once our research projects reach a maturity stage, we help them follow the most efficient path to reach clinics and society at large. Our team focuses on ensuring their long-term clinical impact and commercial success—either evolving into start-up companies or forming partnerships with established industry leaders for further investment and development.

Strategic development for lasting success

We drive the clinical and commercial success of our projects through strategic transactions and dedicated support. Our team collaborates with technical experts, intellectual property specialists, and technology transfer professionals to ensure that the discovery and development of novel technologies are disclosed, evaluated and appropriately protected. We also ensure a strong foundation for exiting startups and favourable terms for their founding team.
