Business collaboration services for researchers

The Business Collaboration Services team helps University researchers in a range of matters related to business collaboration, including the following:

• Finding a business or community partner
• Finding a business funder
• Negotiation support for researchers with a potential partner
• Utilising business-owned materials and data
• Utilising business-owned facilities and equipment as well as their staff
• Establishing research consortia funded by, for example, the Co-Innovation funding instrument of Business Finland or EU funding instruments

If you are a researcher at the University of Helsinki and uncertain about what you can commit to on behalf of the University, always contact Business Collaboration Services.

We also help researchers ensure that agreements do not contain any ambiguities. The University of Helsinki’s legal counsels for research cooperate closely with the business collaboration team.

We are familiar with large Finnish companies, in addition to which many international companies are in continuous dialogue with us.
