R&D , research, and development mean acquiring know-how concerning products, technologies, or processes and carrying out theoretical analyses, systematic studies, or experiments, including experimental production, technical testing of products or processes, providing necessary equipment, and obtaining intellectual property rights for the results of the works.

We are a public institution, and our primary goal is to enhance the competitiveness of Polish enterprises. Our entire process of supporting companies is conducted free of charge. We analyze Inquiries, prepare solution proposals, and organize teleconferences involving clients and idea authors at no cost. Only when a company decides to enter into a specific agreement for R&D activities with a selected team of experts are the terms of cooperation negotiated.

Often, entrepreneurs know how a particular problem should be solved but lack the necessary resources. In this sense, an idea is enough, and the scientists and engineers at Łukasiewicz-IEL will assist in bringing it to life.

If you require a solution already developed at Łukasiewicz-IEL (a “shelf product”), our staff will contact you within a few business days to present our offer. The same applies to testing and certification services. However, if you are looking for support in an R&D project, our proposals are typically ready within a month. The timeline for the execution of the R&D project itself is determined on an individual basis—we need detailed parameters to provide an accurate estimate. This is the purpose of meetings between Łukasiewicz-IEL experts and the entrepreneur.

Nothing pleases us more than the results of joint works. Every solution developed at Łukasiewicz-IEL is intended to benefit the client, and this is most easily achieved by working together at the early stages of a project.
