We aim to rapidly commercialise TNO innovations by creating spin-off companies, granting licences to established organisations, and tech participations in scale-ups beyond our own spin-offs. Positioned at the heart of the technology ecosystem, TNO Ventures empowers startups and scale-ups with access to expertise, cutting-edge technologies, and state-of-the-art facilities in fields such as AI, medical technology, and integrated photonics. This comprehensive support ensures that promising innovations successfully navigate critical development stages, significantly boosting their market success.

Since 2017, over 100 projects have been launched, resulting in the formation of more than 40 spin-off companies. Additionally, over 50 TNO researchers have transitioned to these spin-offs, underscoring the programme's remarkable success in fostering innovation and entrepreneurship.
