Collaboration between Lund University and Chalmers School of Entrepreneurship!
A research-based innovation project from Lund University has been matched with a student team from the Technology Venture Creation track at Chalmers School of Entrepreneurship for the second year in a row. The team, Daniela Padilla, Liam Aljundi and Zoé Opdendries, is working with researcher Mark Jeeninga on getting his innovation of an AC load-flow solver to market over the course of the year.
The project is supported by LU Innovation, Lund Ventures and Chalmers Ventures, bringing together experience in innovation and venture building from all three organisations.
Magnus Gäfvert at LU Innovation, and Patrik Persson of Lund Ventures, describe why Lund chose to take part:
“The Chalmers matching program is very well structured and streamlined, and combines in an efficient way the experience and expertise on innovation and venture building from all involved parties including a talented and motivated pool of entrepreneurship students with an appropriate knowledge level”
They add that the two-semester format leaves time to onboard the students and make meaningful progress, and, in the best case, for the students to continue in the founding team.
Lund is also a returning partner. In Magnus’s words, the collaboration works very well with great momentum in the project, and the program will remain a key development opportunity for their research-based innovation projects.
The team held their first development talk together with Magnus and Patrik, as well as David Storek from Chalmers Ventures, track manager Kristina Hejdenberg Sedström, and their mentor Johan Rådemar, the COO of Eneryield and an alumni of the school.
We are grateful for the trust from Mark, LU Innovation, Lund Ventures and Chalmers Ventures, and look forward to following the team’s progress.
