LYVA Labs
Why we’re here
We believe innovation will drive growth and jobs in our region, if we collectively create the right environment to unlock it. Yet taking ideas to market is complex. That’s why LYVA Labs has been created, to provide support for the ideas and technologies being developed here in Liverpool City Region.
We work with the people who are challenging the way we do things today and invest in the projects and technologies that will push the boundaries of tomorrow. With the help of commercial and sector-focussed experts, we have created a streamlined process for early-stage investment. We are working with stakeholders across the Liverpool City Region to create an ecosystem of high growth companies.
Phase 2: Digital and Deep Tech Challenge Fund
Coming January 2023
We are actively looking to fund commercialisation projects originating from the regions’ academic and research led institutions.
This fund has a focus on identifying and unlocking commercialisation opportunities from research projects.
The goal of this fund is to create a series of start-ups from our region’s knowledge assets and research base.
Please note that to access this fund you must be employed by a research-led institution or organisation within the Liverpool City Region.
