Academic institutions

Universities and institutes are increasingly called upon to take a direct role in wealth creation and one way is through technology transfer. Many universities have called on our independent expertise to help them exploit their intellectual property.

Our services include:

  • giving an independent assessment of the commercial potential of a university invention, and advising how it should be commercialised.In such assignments the most critical aspect is normally the market. We start by assessing the capabilities and features of a new technology in comparison with existing approaches. If there is a compelling case that the new technology has benefits we research the market and advise on the most appropriate commercialisation route
  • undertaking commercialisation activities directly, for example leading proof of concept and feasibility studies, negotiating with partners and investors, and providing hands-on managers to take projects forward at a commercial pace
  • appraising commercialisation processes and structures against best practice, and recommending improvements to help achieve greater success rates.
