As Future Systems Hub, we are committed to making science a shared societal and economic force – open, connected, and actively shaping the systems we live in. From bridging academia and industry to supporting startups and scaling ventures, our mission is to create lasting value for communities, economies, and the planet.
We work to ensure that science is not only understood but actively applied – embedded in the way we collaborate, design solutions, and shape systems together.
The Four Divisions Shaping Our Vision
As we continue to grow, our progress is unfolding through the development of four new divisions, reflecting the evolution of our organisational structure.
Our Roles and Expertise
-
D&C and Ecosystem Building
Our expertise lies in designing and implementing targeted dissemination and communication strategies to amplify project visibility and ensure results reach the right audiences. By building dynamic innovation ecosystems and fostering stakeholder collaboration, we maximise impact and ensure long-term sustainability.
-
Exploitation, IP management and Business Modeling
We enable innovations to thrive through effective exploitation strategies, robust IP management, and business modelling. By creating clear commercialisation pathways and scalable frameworks, we help transform project outcomes into tangible market success.
-
FSTP - Cascade Funding
We are leaders in cascading funding mechanisms, also known as Financial Support for Third Parties (FSTP), managing the full lifecycle of open calls. From defining frameworks and evaluating proposals to providing hands-on support for funded entities, we ensure transparency, efficiency, and maximum impact for EU-funded projects.
-
Piloting and End-User Trials
We coordinate and implement pilot programs and end-user trials to validate solutions in real-world settings. By fostering collaborative development with key stakeholders and engaging directly with end-users, we co-create and refine innovations to ensure they meet practical needs. This hands-on approach bridges the gap between technology and adoption, delivering solutions that address real challenges.
-
Training and Business Support Programs
Our customized training programs and business support initiatives equip stakeholders with the tools to innovate, scale, and succeed. By combining capacity-building, mentorship, and business model development, we create a foundation for sustainable growth and market entry.
-
LCA and Sustainability Assessment
From 2025, we will introduce Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and sustainability assessment services to measure environmental, economic, and social impacts. These insights will help partners optimize processes, enhance resource efficiency, and align with climate-neutral goals.
