ILSE is a research institute, accelerator, and incubator. We perform our own research, contract research services and collaborative research, and we write scientific grants. We also invest in and/or perform early R&D to de-risk technical programs to support fund-raising. In our accelerator, we offer a wide spectrum of support services, either directly or within our R&D and vast consulting network under existing, preferred partner contracts. We are active on 5 continents and develop entrepreneur exchange programs and 'train-the-trainer' education programs. In our lab incubator, we house 10 companies and support R&D and business operations and fund-raising.
