My organisation
Provaxs is Ghent University’s Business Development Center and industrial liaison for innovation in animal health.
We combine scientific expertise, knowledge and know-how on animal health with an entrepreneurial organisation of scientists and experienced tech-transfer professionals. Not only that, but thanks to the Industrial Research Fund of Ghent University we have access to proof-of-concept funding, open for collaboration with industry.
We are receptive to all types of collaborations and partnerships:
-
out-licensing and development of our UGent-technologies towards the final product
-
research collaboration on a single project, either bilateral or in a research consortium
-
strategic partnerships with a specific focus/topic.
All our collaborations and partnerships are supported by a professional business development/tech-transfer team and are based on solid tailor-made agreements on confidentiality, ownership, and exploitation of results.
