About the Centre
Ideas are easy to have. Taking them forward is the hard part. At VU iQube we take your ideas seriously, and more importantly, we turn them into action. Established in 2020 and recognised as a fully functional Institution’s Innovation Council (IIC) under the Ministry of Education, this centre is designed to support you if you’re curious about building something of your own, whether that’s a product, a startup, or even just a strong idea you want to explore.
At VU iQube, you will test ideas, refine them, protect them, and if you choose, turn them into real ventures. The environment is built around guidance, experimentation, and support so you’re not figuring things out alone. Whether you’re interested in startups, research, or innovation, VU iQube gives you a structured playground to explore and build your ideas
