Spin-off companies

Spin-offs are innovative businesses established at the initiative of both permanent and fixed-term university research staff, who base their business ideas on innovative goods and services designed and developed using the results of the research performed at the University.

The University of Bologna offers various actions and services to support teachers, researchers, fellows and PhD students who want to develop a business idea through the support of entrepreneurship for the creation of spin-offs.
