Commercialization support

Learn how we help transform cutting-edge microscopy research into market-ready technologies, successful spin-offs, and business opportunities that reinforce Brnoregion’s position as a global leader in microscopy.

Next meetup: 28. 5. 2026

We guide and support scientists, startups, and entrepreneurs in transforming microscopy research into commercial success — helping spin-offs grow, innovative technologies reach the market, and strengthening Brnoregion's position as a global leader in microscopy commercialization.

Chair and members

The Commercialisation group focuses on three key areas:

  • Expanding the pipeline of spin-offs and deep-tech startups
  • Strengthening partnerships between universities and industry
  • Developing a strong network of commercialisation ambassadors across the #brnoregion microscopy ecosystem

How does an Action Group work?

An action group typically consists of several members from the community. Not every BM member has their representatives in every group; usually, it is institutions and individuals interested in the specific area who join the group and work within it.

The action groups meet every two months to define projects and tasks, assign responsibilities for each, report on their progress, and discuss new opportunities. Between meetings, group members work on the tasks they have taken responsibility for.

What is the Action Plan?

In a two-year interval, the stakeholders decide on the key areas of Brno region Microscopy for the next period. Subsequently, active members will develop these areas into individual milestones, which the platform will aim to achieve over the next two years.

As soon as the stakeholder meeting approves the plan, the action groups are set up or the existing ones take over and start working on the plan execution.

Our Mission

Whenever anyone worldwide talks about (electron) microscopy, the first association will be #brnoregion.
