Technology Commercialisation


Overview

Technology commercialisation is the process of transitioning technologies from the research lab to the marketplace. This can be accomplished in many ways — through educating students, publishing results of research and ensuring that inventions are developed into useful products and services for the benefit of the public. Out of the three most common types of commercialisation strategies that we have encountered, the first two typically result in new businesses, whilst the third results in the commercialisation of a new product or service within an existing established business.

The documentation of the process by which a new product or service is introduced into the market is called a commercialisation plan. It takes into account the production, distribution, marketing, sales and customer support required to achieve commercial success. The typical process is summarised in The 8 Steps of Technology Commercialisation”:

  1. Research
  2. Invention Disclosure
  3. Assessment
  4. Patenting
  5. Identifying Potential Licensees
  6. Negotiation
  7. Licensing
  8. Revenue & Commercialisation
