Since its first session in April 2025, Aalto Inventors has completed six cohorts, bringing together 190 researchers from fields spanning biomaterials, AI, quantum, microelectronics, and hydrogen. The programme has earned an overall rating of 4.3 out of 5 and a Net Promoter Score of 49 — a strong signal that participants are finding real value in the experience.

At the heart of Aalto Inventors is a community of people who believe that scientific discoveries shouldn't stay in the lab. Over the past year, 93 speakers, visiting experts, and mentors from organisations such as IQM Quantum Computers, Solar Foods, Neste, AMD Silo AI, Vaisala, Maki.vc, and Aalto University itself have generously shared their time and insights with the next generation of inventor-entrepreneurs.

The feedback from participants reflects something deeper than skills gained. "I learned that the journey is a possible one and just needs to be followed step by step," shared one researcher. Another noted: "I can now see better the real-world motivation behind my research as well." Speakers have been equally moved with many highlighting how great the energy in the room has been, full of appetite to go beyond the paper.

With the spring almost over, the team is already looking ahead: new cohorts are in the works for the next academic year, with fresh fields and topics on the horizon.

As we end every one of our sessions, we leave you now also with our mantra: Research deserves more than a paper. It deserves to change the world. Not because paper isn't important. But because someone out there is waiting for your invention to change their reality.
