The Jagiellonian Center of Innovation company was established in 2004 by the Jagiellonian University in Krakow with a view to developing and managing the infrastructure of the Life Science Park as well as providing a wide range of services to entrepreneurs and scientists engaged in life sciences. During the years 2009 – 2013, JCI primarily offered such services as laboratory space rental, project grant management as well as providing funding for businesses within the framework of the JCI Venture fund.

Since 2013 JCI has been steadily expanding its service offering to include, amongst others, contract research carried out in JCI’s owned laboratories and clinical trials conducted in JCI’s dedicated Clinical Trials Center.

In 2018, the Company extended its offering dedicated for the cosmetics industry with cosmetics formulation and production, and was able to secure funding for new life science projects and technologies.
