How do you create impact out of research? How do you turn your research into action? Could I — and should I — commercialize my research? Do I have to leave academia, and can I ever return? What does science-based entrepreneurship or academic entrepreneurship mean? These questions — among many others related to the area of science to impact — are being pondered by many researchers and academics.
From Lab To Market is an event series that helps you find the answers and where you’ll get to know people with similar questions in mind. You can listen to inspiring stories of scientists turned entrepreneurs, exchange thoughts over coffee on creating impact from research, and network across disciplines and organizations. Finland needs more deep-tech startups and bold founders. Could you be one of them?
In Fall 2024, events are organized weekly on Thursdays, starting from September 19th to October 24th at 17:00, for a total of six sessions:
- September 19: Research Commercialization: From Aalto’s Researcher to Raising 8 Million in Funding

- October 3: Is Your Research Capable of Making an Impact?
- October 10: Available funding opportunities outside the lab
- October 17: Minimal Viable Product? Ugh, what is that?

Our past speakers include people from fields such as biomaterials, health, environment and renewable energy, but we don’t want to limit ourselves. Have a great speaker or a topic in mind? Let us know!
The From Lab to Market event series is organized by Aalto Ventures Program, Aalto Startup Center, Aaltoes and Innovation Services.
