Sopartec's mission, within the Louvain Technology Transfer Office (LTTO), is to transfer the results of research carried out by UCLouvain, the Cliniques universitaires St-Luc (CUSL), the CHU UCL Namur and the Institute de Duve (ICP) to the public/market by creating spin-offs and negotiating licence agreements. Sopartec is working with the VIVES Investment Funds (VIVES). The VIVES Funds are technology multi-sectorial funds that invest in UCLouvain spin-offs and startups in both Belgium and neighboring countries.
