Commercialisation for UC Staff

Taking a good idea from concept to commercial reality can be an exciting and rewarding, if somewhat bumpy, journey. R&I personnel are experienced in this process and are here to help you succeed.


R&I are involved in all aspects of taking a product to market. This starts with:
•  the initial identification and evaluation of the IP in its early stages of research,
•  development and protection of the idea,
•  identifying suitable investors, and
•  finding the appropriate manufacturing and distribution partners to turn the idea into commercial reality

We can advise you on all the required steps to protect your research and, even better, can assist with all the required documentation.

Please feel free to contact Adrian Busch, Technology Manager, at any time.

If you would feel more comfortable discussing your idea with someone in your area, a number of departments have nominated innovation champions to provide informal advice to department members on interacting with commercial activities.
