University startups allow innovative entrepreneurial activities to be created based on a research background developed in an academic environment

To achieve its institutional aims such as the valorisation of research, technology transfer, connection with the entrepreneurial world, introduction, development and diffusion of new technologies, innovative products and services on the market and the creation of favourable conditions for the growth of young people's employment, Sapienza favours the creation of enterprises, whose aim is the use, on an entrepreneurial basis, of patents, inventions, know-how or findings based on scientific research. Sapienza, facilitates those projects aimed at the constitution of joint-stock companies aimed at producing new goods and services with high technological content, based partially or entirely on scientific research.
