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.

Challenge
Approach

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’
  • ‘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.

Strategic Development

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.

Impact

Impact

With BU's new commercialisation process and framework, clear route-to-market plans, milestones, and timelines were developed. This enabled BU to identify and implement a tailored spin-out risk management framework, achieving alignment among stakeholders and driving new opportunities for commercialisation.
