Public Sector

Public sector and educational organisations have helped develop many of the world’s most important scientific and technical advances. Such developments have the potential to generate significant wealth for stakeholders via direct licensing, spin off activity or the creation of innovation ecosystems around key technology platforms.

Often, however, the full commercial potential of publicly funded research is not realised. A key factor is that the skills sets required to create innovation are not the same as those to commercialise innovation.

The challenge for public sector agencies is to increase commercialisation capability while building policy frameworks that encourage and facilitate the conversion of innovation into wealth and growth.

• Ideation: Strategically generating and ‘first cutting’ ideas.
• Technology / IP Assessment: Assessing the potential commercial value and/or intellectual property position of a single innovation or a multi-asset portfolio.
• Commercialisation Strategy: Developing strategies to maximise returns from a technology or innovation.
• Negotiation Support: Guidance and support to negotiate license, royalty, technology transfer and development agreements.
• Investment: Valuing intellectual property assets and portfolios, intellectual property and technology due diligence and structuring for investment.
