Business incubator LEAD and LiU Invest work together to turn research at Linköping University into commercial solutions, in collaboration with LiU Innovation.

LEAD is the incubator that develops entrepreneurs and builds companies through business coaching, programs, verification, team development, and access to strong networks of industry, investors and experts.

LiU Invest is the holding company’s investment arm, providing early-stage equity, active ownership engagement, and structures to attract further capital to the region’s most promising deep tech companies.

Together, we create a cohesive process from idea capture and verification to company building, investment, and growth, with the goal of turning more LiU ideas into sustainable, competitive companies that deliver real societal impact.
