crucial from the perspective of our clients' development.
How can we help you
What we offer
Comprehensive assistance in R&D activities
Solution tailored to your needs
We have the best scientists and unique research equipment unparalleled nationwide. In proposing a solution to your technological problem, we focus on your needs. To tailor our solution proposal as closely as possible, below we outline the process of Łukasiewicz Challenges.
what else can you gain
Our team constantly monitors the instruments for financing R&D work in Poland and Europe. We follow competitions and programmes which could provide financing of a significant portion of the R&D expenses. On behalf of our partners, we also look for consortiums with which they can undertake the most ambitious projects, financed, for example, by Horizon Europe.
The Łukasiewicz network of laboratories carries out a whole range of tests and certifications for almost all industries. If you need this kind of service, contact us using the Ask for an Offer form and we will find the right team and infrastructure.
We work for many clients, so a number of technology solutions have already become our standardised products. By working with us, you gain access to the entire range of technology solutions that have already been developed and tested.
Once in a while, we invite our clients to an event entirely dedicated to R&D cooperation. The Łukasiewicz Innovatorium brings together representatives of science and business to identify areas of potential cooperation in the most concrete and direct way possible. Our aim is to create project teams capable of obtaining European funding for the most interesting R&D projects. You are welcome!
