Innovation Programmes

Our vision at Innovation Programmes is to help researchers make an impact outside of the lab by bridging the gap between university research and the market.
The Innovation Programmes Team at Queen’s University Belfast delivers a range of initiatives that support researchers, students, and SMEs on their journey from idea to impact. From early-stage ideation to commercial acceleration, the team champions innovation through hands-on support, expert-led programmes, and strategic collaboration across sectors.
