UNIIQ

UNIIQ operates as an investment fund, providing early-stage risk capital to ventures in the proof-of-concept phase. It supports entrepreneurs, academic spin-offs, and innovative SMEs developing disruptive technologies. The fund bridges the financial gap between initial research and market viability, accelerating promising ideas towards commercialization.

Established in 2016, UNIIQ is a collaborative initiative by InnovationQuarter, Delft University of Technology, Leiden University, and Erasmus MC. It arose from the need for dedicated early-stage funding in the South Holland region to transform academic and entrepreneurial innovations into viable businesses, fostering local talent and economic growth.

UNIIQ serves university spin-offs, startups, and SMEs focused on novel technology commercialization within its region. Its vision is to expedite the development and market entry of unique innovations. By deploying early-stage capital, UNIIQ reinforces the regional innovation ecosystem and contributes to enduring technological progress and economic health.
