ProtoLAB is a creative space for prototyping and verification of ideas. The activities of the Podkarpackie Innovation Center are three platforms. The first is to support the best research and development projects carried out by teams of partner scientific units with high potential for commercialization. The second area is support for the sale of research services provided by Podkarpackie laboratories and the purchase of such research services by companies. The third platform is ProtoLab.
In ProtoLab, there are workshop rooms that allow to build prototypes, including virtual reality studio, electronics, computer, as well as a tool workshop, equipped with vices, long, balls and saws. In the tool shop, prototypes of wood or metal can be developed. The use of ProtoLab is free of charge for all interested parties, especially for startups, new open companies provided by students or researchers.
