Business Support

Develop the products and services of tomorrow

Vuka Trade and Enterprise Development Agency supports researchers and venture scientists taking their first steps in commercialising their research and turning it into a start-up business. Our wide range of support enables researchers and scientists who want to develop a new technology based on their research.

If you’re in a business and want to explore Research and Innovation supports and opportunities, please contact us to:

• Build a spin-out business: Vuka Trade and Enterprise Development Agency recognises that building a start-up from research is challenging due to resource constraints, capital limitations, talent shortages and limited partnership opportunities. Our goal is to create an ecosystem that connects innovators, partners and investors to facilitate the journey from idea to commercial success.
• Collaborate with industry: Working with companies, or clusters of companies, offers many benefits to researchers. Through collaboration, researchers have the opportunity to transfer technology into a company and see it in action in the marketplace. Vuka Trade and Enterprise Development Agency provides funding for your research team and offers practical experience and the opportunity for students to work on placement in companies.
