AidMix Selected as an Attractive Innovation Project 2025 by UU Innovation

We are proud to be selected as an Attractive Innovation Project 2025 by UU Innovation at Uppsala University.

For AidMix, this recognition is more than a milestone. It is an early external validation of a problem we believe is important for the future of scientific collaboration: specialized expertise, laboratory capacity, instruments, and project-based R&D support should be easier to find, access, and use.

UU Innovation presents Attractive Innovation Projects as research-based projects and startups that show strong innovation potential. In the 2025 selection, AidMix is described as a digital platform for research-based expert knowledge in life science, connecting researchers and other experts with companies that need specialized competence for defined research and development assignments.

This recognition strengthens our belief that AidMix is solving a real bottleneck in the life science ecosystem.

More than an expert marketplace

AidMix is often described as a platform for connecting experts with companies. That is true, but it is only one part of the vision.

AidMix is building a scientific capacity marketplace.

That means the platform is designed to connect several types of resources:

• scientific expertise
• laboratory capabilities
• instruments and technical platforms
• specialist teams
• project-based R&D support
• product and formulation knowledge
• practical know-how from researchers, SMEs, and expert organizations

In life science, the right solution often depends on more than one specialist. It may require a method, an instrument, a lab workflow, or a team with the right technical experience.

AidMix aims to make these resources easier to discover and apply.

Helping companies access the right scientific support

Many life science SMEs, biotech startups, diagnostics companies, medtech companies, and formulation-driven businesses face similar challenges.

They may have a product or product line, but need additional scientific capacity to move forward.

They may need help with:

• formulation development
• analytical method selection
• access to specific laboratory instruments
• microbiology or diagnostics expertise
• feasibility testing
• experimental design
• product validation
• technical troubleshooting
• short-term project-based R&D support

For these companies, speed and precision matter. The right expert, lab, or instrument can help avoid months of uncertainty.

AidMix is being built to make that access more structured.

Helping labs and SMEs maximize utilization

AidMix is also designed for the supply side of scientific capacity.

Many SMEs, labs, and expert teams already have valuable resources: instruments, technical platforms, specialist knowledge, product experience, and established workflows. But these capabilities may not always be fully utilized.

AidMix can help make those capabilities more visible to companies that need them.

For labs and SMEs, this can support:

• higher utilization of instruments
• new project opportunities
• stronger visibility for niche capabilities
• new revenue from existing scientific resources
• better connections with startups and industry partners
• more efficient use of expertise already inside the organization

This is an important part of AidMix's mission: not only helping companies find support, but also helping scientific capacity owners unlock more value from what they already have.

What comes next

AidMix is still growing, testing, and learning from the ecosystem.

The next stage is about building stronger connections with:

• life science SMEs
• biotech and medtech startups
• laboratories and instrument owners
• scientific specialists
• innovation organizations
• research-driven companies
• partners interested in more efficient scientific collaboration

Our goal is to make AidMix a platform where scientific needs and scientific capacity can meet more efficiently.

Building toward better use of scientific capacity

Scientific innovation depends on access.

Access to the right expertise. Access to the right lab. Access to the right instrument. Access to people who understand the technical challenge.

AidMix exists to make that access easier.

Being selected as an Attractive Innovation Project 2025 by UU Innovation is an encouraging step in that direction. It reminds us that the scientific ecosystem needs better ways to connect knowledge, infrastructure, and industry needs.

If you are a company, lab, specialist, or ecosystem partner interested in project-based scientific collaboration, AidMix would be happy to connect.
