Lab to Market: Where Greek Research Meets Entrepreneurship

Supported by the Blavatnik Family Foundation, the Lab to Market: Bridging Innovation and Entrepreneurship program is enabling young researchers in Greece to translate scientific research into practical solutions with real-world potential. Implemented by the Columbia Global Center in Athens and overseen by Columbia University and the National Technical University of Athens, with the involvement of Columbia Business School, Endeavor Greece, and the Hellenic Institute for Advanced Studies (HIAS), the initiative brings together students and early-career researchers working on challenges ranging from microplastic exposure and medication management to earthquake resilience. Participants gain the knowledge, networks, and guidance needed to move from laboratory research to entrepreneurial application, with early projects already advancing to proof-of-concept stages.

The Courtauld has announced plans to open two new art galleries at its Somerset House campus, expanding its engagement with living artists and contemporary works.

The Foundation has a long-standing relationship with the institution, which named the Blavatnik Fine Rooms in 2021, and reflecting on this partnership, Sir Leonard Blavatnik said, “My family and I have taken great pride in our association with the Courtauld over the past decade. It has been a privilege to play a leading role in shaping the Gallery’s future.”
