WHY THIS TRAINING
Innovation Commercialization
Many universities with active Offices of Research and Innovation Commercialization or Technology Transfer Offices are working hard to find the right corporate partners but finding it difficult to find good licensing deals. The gap between industry and academia is well documented and a lot must be done to build trust based on mutual interest. Licensing to corporations is not the only path to commercialization. Spin-offs are common vehicles of commercialization in the developed world for highly innovative and disruptive products.
Innovation Commercialization through Spin-Offs is a two-day workshop, created for researchers by IdeaGist. Over 300 researchers have taken this training and have benefitted from a better understanding of the commercialization process.
In this two-day workshop, participants will learn about commercialization through entrepreneurial activities, how to start the spin-off commercialization process, best practices in commercialization contracts for spin-offs, and how to manage the commercialization process.
This training is designed for innovation commercialization professionals, technology transfer managers, researchers, PhD scholars and MPhil students that are planning or conducting active research projects.
