Who we are

Born in Academia, Built for Impact

UNICO is a consulting company operating at the intersection of deep tech, innovation, and commercialization. With experience in launching university spin-offs, refining business models through market validation, and aligning academic potential with industry needs, we combine technical depth, strategic thinking, and business foresight.

Our story

We started in 2017, rooted in academia, driven by a simple insight: when research and business truly collaborate, powerful things happen. 

But too often, breakthrough discoveries stay locked in labs. We set out to change that.

Smart frameworks, strong networks.

We combine structured methodologies with a powerful network of researchers, industry experts, and investors. The result? Faster decisions, reduced risk, and real opportunities - backed by insight, not guesswork.

A Trusted Innovation Partner

We operate in the field of complex technologies - guiding startups & university spin-offs to market and supporting companies in adopting advanced tech. We cooperate at regional, national and international level with institutions setting innovation policy to create a functional innovation ecosystem.

We’re deeply connected in Central and Eastern Europe - Croatia, Slovenia, and Czechia - but our network and impact are global. We are translators between individual ecosystem players.
