NÖVA | From Lab to Life
We exist for one mission: 100 Lab-to-Market transitions by 2030.
Every year, thousands of research breakthroughs remain stuck in journals, patents, or prototypes, never reaching the people and markets that need them. This “valley of death” blocks innovation from making impact.
At NÖVA, we build the bridges.
We are a global commercialization and innovation strategy partner that works with universities, research institutions, startups, and governments to move discoveries from proof → adoption. Supported by our platform and global frameworks like Open IP systems, we combine:
1. Innovation Commercialization Partnerships: connecting labs with startups, industry, and investors.
2. Technology Transfer & IP Services: TTO design, operations, and open IP licensing models.
3. Venture Building & Market Entry: piloting, prototyping, and scaling through global collaborations.
4. Capacity Building & Training: equipping innovators and institutions with practical lab-to-market tools.
We are not just consultants, we are ecosystem builders. Our network of global fellows, partnerships with leading institutions (from NASA Space Apps to universities in Asia, Europe, and Africa), and our Balloon Fund initiative ensure that impact is inclusive, cross-border, and long-term.
Our rallying call is simple: Innovation Without Borders, Impact Without Limits.
If you are a researcher with a breakthrough, a student passionate about innovation, a startup looking for IP, or a sponsor/partner seeking impact, NÖVA is your platform to move from lab to life.
