Research meets Startup: Breakfast with Henrique Núñez

​Location: Konttori, Hämeenkatu 9, Turku.

​What does it look like to pursue cutting-edge research while exploring opportunities in the startup world?

​Join us for breakfast and meet Henrique Núñez, a PhD researcher at the University of Turku’s Wihuri Physical Laboratory. He works on neuromorphic computing and memristive hardware, brain-inspired technology that could help robots learn, adapt, and make decisions in real time. Alongside his research, Henrique works at a startup that is innovating semiconductor manufacturing and enabling next-generation chips.

​In a short keynote, Henrique will share his experience of working across academia and entrepreneurship: the challenges of moving between two very different environments, and the opportunities that open up when scientific research meets the startup ecosystem. Afterwards there will be time for questions and conversation over breakfast.

​This is the first of four breakfast meetings for university researchers, held every second Friday at Konttori. Whether you are already considering commercializing your research or are simply curious about what entrepreneurship could mean for your work, you’re welcome to join, and no business idea is needed.
