The goal is to foster entrepreneurial culture within the university, to encourage research-driven innovation, and to give VU students and staff the opportunity to hone their idea at no cost. The Lab&#8217;s strength comes from active involvement in the research community and the opportunity to access a wealth of facilities &#8211; not only in research, but also in product development.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tab][vc_tab gutter_size=&#8221;2&#8243; column_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; title=&#8221;who&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1615453426-2-301615455318045&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;806651&#8243;]The Demonstrator Lab is open to students, staff and researchers from all faculties of the VU and Amsterdam UMC. The Lab is run by Professor Davide Iannuzzi and his staff. They will help you through the entire process from idea to product: from forming a team to developing a prototype. Through its extensive network, the Demonstrator Lab can provide you with all the tools to assess the viability of your business idea. The team supports you in all critical phases.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tab][vc_tab gutter_size=&#8221;2&#8243; column_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; tab_id=&#8221;8309abfe-9df8-21615455318045&#8243; title=&#8221;join in!&#8221;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;130725&#8243;]Signing up is not difficult; you just need to send an email with your idea and contact details.
