RDI for companies
We help SMEs build sustainable, responsible, and future-oriented growth
Our RDI activities provide companies with practical solutions that quickly translate into everyday development, strengthened competitiveness, and new business opportunities, particularly in the Päijät-Häme and South Karelia regions.
We combine research-based knowledge, the needs of working life, and expert expertise into development projects aimed at creating impact – not only in the long term, but also through solutions that can be rapidly implemented in practice.
I highly recommend collaborating with LAB to other entrepreneurs who are looking to develop their business.
Research
We provide research-based knowledge tailored to your company’s needs to support business renewal and growth. You gain access to expert networks, international collaboration opportunities, and the campus’s laboratory and testing environments – always with full confidentiality.
Development
Looking to renew your business and discover new growth opportunities? Together with LAB, you can develop new products, services, and business models while improving your existing ways of working. We turn research-based knowledge into practical solutions that strengthen your company’s competitiveness.
Innovations
Our innovation activities bring development results into practice and onto the market. We help identify new business opportunities and create the conditions for their commercialisation – for example by supporting the creation and growth of startups.
Tell us about your RDI needs – we’ll help you move forward
