Venture Capital Walloon Brabant, Belgium ·Founded 1942

Overview

Sopartec is a Belgian technology transfer and investment company specializing in managing funds that invest in spin-offs from universities and research institutions. Within the Louvain Technology Transfer Office (LTTO), Sopartec's mission 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 license agreements. Sopartec works with the VIVES Investment Funds (VIVES), which are technology multi-sectorial funds that invest in UCLouvain spin-offs and startups in both Belgium and neighboring countries. Sopartec interacts closely with all the public and private players involved in the development, transfer, and promotion of knowledge and technologies at local, regional, national, European, and global levels. As such, Sopartec is involved in the two incubators initiated by UCLouvain, the Brussels Life Science Incubator (BLSI) and the Louvain-la-Neuve Business and Innovation Center (CEI). The company's corporate governance charter provides that its Board of Directors consists of certain members representing UCLouvain and other independent (or so-called 'external') members. The day-to-day management of Sopartec and certain special powers are entrusted to Mr. Xavier Bastin (Bivoak SRL representative).
