Investment in research and innovation is the driving force of a country that aspires to claim its place in the future. Starting from this position, the Archimedes Center of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA) facilitates the University community—faculty members, researchers, students, and alumni—to bring research and innovation into society.

Its mission is to support the advancement of their research work, whether that leads to a sustainable business model or a competitive startup. It is widely acknowledged that startups and entrepreneurial teams, by harnessing modern technologies, can play a vital role in driving economic growth and contributing to societal well-being.

The challenges of the future are significant and diverse, as are the needs that must be addressed in an increasingly competitive, global, and ever-changing entrepreneurial environment.

We invite you to explore the website of the Archimedes Center:

• to learn more about the support services offered by the Technology Transfer Office regarding intellectual property management and research commercialization, and
• to discover information and guidance on the personalized consulting, co-working spaces, training, mentoring, and networking opportunities provided by the Center’s Business Accelerator.

With consistency, awareness, and scientific rigor, we actively promote the triptych: Research, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship, and we invite all NKUA researchers to bring their innovative ideas to life and transfer them to society.
