How We Can Help You

Your research project has goals that you want to deliver.

These goals could range from high-level fundamentals such as better understanding important natural phenomenon, for instance underlying photosynthesis, cancer induction, group behaviours or climate change.

Depending on your field of expertise and the type of research you carry out, the commercial potential of your research output may take different forms (products, platform technologies, service provision, licensing to existing companies, the establishment of a start-up company) and may have very short to very long windows of opportunity.  

In all cases successful commercialisation revolves around meeting an unmet need. The larger, more urgent and more intractable the unmet need is then it generally follows that there will be larger commercial potential.

Understanding and communicating the position of your research in its broad context and potential impact is the key first step on the commercialisation journey.

This typically draws upon your experience and excellence in your academic environment and also draws upon what is happening in the commercial world.

Joining the dots across these spaces is crucial and leveraging the support of the Knowledge Transfer team is an important first step.
