Innovation insights: What is technology transfer? 💡
You've developed a promising technology. What happens next?
Technology transfer is about moving knowledge, technologies, or research results from the research environment towards practical application.
👇
This can mean licensing a technology, finding a partner, or creating a spin-off. The right path depends on the technology, the market, & the organisation.
Technology transfer is not one-size-fits-all. Neither should your exploitation strategy be. 🔎

Innovation insights: What is a value chain? 💡
A value chain maps out the different actors and activities involved in making an innovation create value for the end user.
#InnovationInsights
🔽
For a new technology, that could include:
🔸 Researchers
🔹 Technology developers
🔸 Manufacturers
🔹 Distributors
🔸 End users
Understanding your value chain helps identify who you need to work with & where your biggest opportunities are.

Innovation insights: What is an exploitation plan? 💡
An exploitation plan sets out how research results could be used during, but principally after, the project.
It can cover different routes to impact, from further research to new products, services, or policy uptake.
⬇️
The key to impactful exploitation? Start early.
Understanding potential users, markets, partners and barriers while the project is still running gives you more options when the results are ready. 🏆
