More About Us

Who We Are

We’re a small, focused team with a shared mission to turn great research into real-world impact. Based at the Aura Innovation Centre, we bring together expertise in technology, commercialisation, and collaboration to turn complex academic ideas into digital solutions with real outcomes. We’re hands-on, passionate, and driven by impact. Our team brings a blend of technical expertise and commercial experience, with a strong focus on delivery. We understand the challenges of moving from concept to product, and we’re here to guide that journey.

    We provide the hands-on support needed to turn ideas into thriving ventures. From market research and business planning to finance, HR, and project delivery, we offer the right mix of expertise and practical tools to help researchers and start-ups grow with clarity and confidence.

    Software Development

    We design and build digital products that bring ideas to life. From early prototypes to full-scale platforms, we work closely with partners to create tailored software that solves real problems. Whether it’s AI integration, automation, or custom tools, we deliver smart, reliable solutions that scale.

    • Lampada have been a significant support to us. They bring strong technical delivery, solid development capability and deep expertise in cloud solution architecture. We are grateful for the support they have provided and continue to offer. Their ability to scale development teams when needed has been a real advantage, alongside their architecture input.

As the Director of the Centre I am grateful for the guidance and expertise Lampada has offered, particularly in helping us transition from an academic team to a professional business unit. The whole Lampada team have worked closely with us to enhance our marketing, develop business-agile systems and provide essential digital expertise to drive the development of our tools. It has been a pleasure working within Lampada, and their expertise has made a significant impact on our growth and development.
