Companies and organisations at LBSP also benefit from a wide range of business services. Shared facilities Innovation is represented through a range of shared facilities for the communities at LBSP. We are in the process of mapping out the divisible facilities, such as specific measuring equipment or state-of-the-art microscopes, and making them available for partners at the LBSP. The objective is to create a 'marketplace' where the companies and the knowledge institutes at the LBSP can look for equipment - and where it’s located. Lab & Office space Furthermore, it’s important to mention the availability of labs and office spaces for rent. Building your own premises is another option.
