The LiEU Network relies on thematic advisors who are integrated into innovation ecosystems such as hubs, clusters, and IIS. These advisors act as a link between the players in these ecosystems and university researchers. They support initiatives by organising events and meetings between companies and researchers, and act as the primary point of entry into the Network for their field of interest. Their mission also includes providing information and raising awareness: they present the structure of the Network, promote direct exchanges (Meet the People) and ensure that targeted partners are regularly updated in order to maintain and strengthen collaborations.

The advisors at Knowledge Transfer Offices (KTO) work with you to analyse your innovation needs in order to offer you a personalised support plan. Their goal is to facilitate your collaborations with university research units and guide you towards technologies suited to your projects. This service is aimed at you as a business, start-up or investor, whether you are in the early stages of a project and need help structuring it, or further along and want direct access to the services and expertise of laboratories.

You can easily access the scientific expertise of the universities of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation thanks to tailor-made support. Based on a detailed analysis of your needs, we identify the most relevant scientific expertise to effectively meet your challenges. This service is offered to you particularly in the early stages or during the preliminary planning of your project, to ensure optimal guidance from the very beginning of your innovation process.

We provide you with a comprehensive toolkit to help you promote your innovation project and facilitate your research collaborations. You will benefit from guidance on suitable sources of funding, support in finding relevant partners, and advice on establishing a clear framework for intellectual property issues and co-ownership management with your university partner. This support is available from the early stages of your project, through to its development and agreement phase.

We invite you to immerse yourself in scientific innovation by visiting university laboratories and meeting researchers. After a personalised analysis of your needs, we identify the scientific expertise most relevant to you and organise targeted visits and meetings with laboratories. This allows you to establish concrete collaborations with research units, whether upstream during the preliminary stages of your project or downstream to access the technical resources of the laboratories.

Introduce your company to researchers and inspire them by organising a visit to your site. This approach allows them to better understand your technological environment, your challenges and your specific needs. The aim is to stimulate potential collaborations and create constructive exchanges, both upstream, during the preliminary stages of a project, and downstream, to facilitate access to the resources and expertise of university laboratories.

Access a direct route to innovation! Based on your project proposal, we identify the relevant scientific expertise for you and check its suitability for the available calls for projects. We also offer you practical support in setting up the project to help you structure and effectively promote your innovation process, either upstream or during the preparation and submission phase.

Take part in our facilitation workshop: the direct route to your innovation! We help you overcome the obstacles that hinder the establishment of fruitful collaborations with researchers and university laboratories. Based on your project proposal, we work with you to identify the relevant scientific expertise, verify compliance with calls for projects, and provide practical support in setting up your project. This support is available upstream, during the pre-assembly phase, as well as during the assembly phase.
