MAX IV Laboroatory and the European Spallation Source, both located in Lund, provide academia and industry with advanced tools and instruments to make new discoveries that can accelerate business development. The research tools available at these facilities can enablle radical improvements to their materials and processes.

NanoLund, formerly known as the Nanometer Structure Consortium, founded in 1988, supports and coordinates activities within nanoscience and nanotechnology at Lund University. Their overarching goal is to use nanostructures to address important needs of society, such as solving the energy challenge and improving the quality of life. 

Packbridge is a cluster for a connected, smart, and sustainable packaging ecosystem​. Members and partner organisations in business, academia and society take part in knowledge-sharing, competence building and collaborations in areas within sustainability, digitalisation, AI, innovation and technology.​

Recolab is a testbed based in Helsingborg, with a focus on urban development around waste, energy and recycling, open to companies, academia and industry. The ambition is that the trials in the test bed will develop future technology that can be used in facilities around the world.

Open Lab Skåne is a collaborative project between Malmö University, Lund University and SmiLe Incubator. Their mission is to facilitate innovation by opening up their laboratories and enabling access to equipment and expertise. Open Lab Skåne has three sites: food engineering, material science and chemistry, and life science.

This is the first cleantech community in Europe. It offers unique opportunities for cleantech companies to participate in business development activities, collaborative projects, and international events, and fosters dialogue and connections between different actors that could lead to new business not imagined today. Greentech Village also acts as an accelerator.

IUC Syd is an industrial development centre with a mission to promote growth and competitiveness in industrial companies in Skåne​. It acts as a testbed and meeting place for academia and the manufacturing industry and in Skåne.
