Research Commercialisation

Research commercialisation transforms research outcomes and intellectual property into commercially viable products, services, or processes. The ultimate goal of research commercialisation is to create economic value from the research by bringing the resulting products or services to market, licensing the technology to others, or forming spin-off companies.

Why is Research Commercialisation so important?

Research commercialisation is an important part of the innovation ecosystem and can significantly impact society and the economy. It often involves collaboration between researchers, investors, entrepreneurs, and industry experts to develop a commercial strategy that can take the research from the lab to the market. Commercialisation efforts can take many forms, including patenting, licensing, start-up formation, and technology transfer. Successful research commercialisation can lead to the creation of new jobs, the development of new industries, and the advancement of scientific and technological knowledge.
