WHO WE ARE

MORE ABOUT UBIMEDICAL

UBImedical is a space of excellence to articulate the connection between the University and the business world. Created to expedite the transfer of knowledge in the search for new technologies, it allows companies to develop the research and laboratory tests necessary to effectively commercialize new products, generating added value for the economy.
UBImedical comprises two distinct areas: the laboratory area and the incubation area. The laboratory area has the mission of supporting and transferring technology, and comprises a set of resident laboratories coordinated by UBI professors in the areas of health and life sciences. The incubator welcomes entrepreneurs and innovative companies in the same areas.
This structure has enriched the health cluster in Portugal, acting as spill-over linking the University to the market.
