Mission:

“Reimagining the bridge between academia and industry through impactful, innovative collaborations.”

We envision a future where academia and business meet seamlessly, fostering relationships that drive innovation and real-world impact.

We are building a new way to connect students and companies, ensuring that each collaboration generates mutual value and leaves a lasting impact.

UBIridge began as a shared vision among students at applied science and research universities in the Netherlands. Throughout our studies, we experienced both inspiring and mismatched projects with companies that weren’t quite the right fit. Frustrated with the lack of alignment, we wondered—what if we could ensure no project would ever go unused or unnoticed? So, during an entrepreneurship course at Avans University of Applied Sciences, we created the first version of our platform.

Driven by our experience, we reassembled with a new team to take our vision further. Today, UBIridge is committed to making every student project count, bridging the gap between student creativity and business needs.
