Love research
– but not run a business?
Impact through commercialization without leaving your academic career
Research at Luleå University of Technology has led to world-leading innovations, now part of multinational billion-dollar companies. At the same time, some researchers hesitate to start a business commercialize, no matter how much impact their research could bring to the world.
That’s not the case for Associate Professor Johan Casselgren, founder of Pileus AB.
With nearly 20 years at Luleå University of Technology, Johan has a broad research background, from wind power to autonomous vehicles, with a special focus on challenges related to snow and ice.
"At the same time, I hope that our success with Pileus will inspire more students and researchers to take the leap into entrepreneurship – to spin off without dropping out. You don’t have to leave research just because you want to commercialize your ideas through a company."
Join us to hear Johan’s journey and learn how Innovationskontoret and Arctic Business can support you in commercializing your research, regardless whether you want want to do it yourself or not!
