Growing technology skills, sharing strategies, and building pathways to turn ideas into successful businesses.
Challenge
We partnered with Bournemouth University from April 2019 to December 2022 to help them build capacity in technology transfer, and make strategic recommendations. They also needed to co-create commercialisation processes, such as a spin-out framework and user guide.
Approach
We supported technology transfer meetings both in-person and virtually to over 25 academics, building and developing BU's research IP commercialisation pipeline. 36 projects at various development stages progressed through our support:
- Invention disclosure meetings’/li>
- IP due diligence and market assessments
- Spin-out and licensing activities
Our pitch support empowered three BU academics to successfully receive funding for their start-up accelerator programme. Newly created strategies and internal processes raised BU’s IP commercialisation capacity. Next, we co-created a gated spinout risk management framework tailored to BU's existing systems, processes and policies for research commercialisation.
