Who among you is not familiar with this situation: the research results are promising, their potential has been recognised and calls for uptake in industry and society - but how should this step be taken? Who will help bridge the gap from lab to market?
This webinar will explore different approaches and tools – and how to combine them - to be successful in the commercialisation of results. It will cover cross sectoral technology transfer with the example of scouting space technologies for application on earth. You will also hear about a university programme which brings in a fresh students’ perspective on the way to market readiness, and a methodology connecting business and academia to identify use cases for the responsible application of industrial technologies.
Let us inspire you.
