Synopsis

Keywords: Transferable skills: Commercialisation, Transferable skills: Intellectual Property

This talk will go through some basics of how to convert an academic idea or project into an industry venture. This will be an intro to how to develop an idea/demo, get investment, and create relationships with established companies. Practical info will be presented on how to read and file IP, and how to start a path to regulatory clearance. Examples from startup companies in the MRI space will be discussed.

As scientists, we see or create ideas and many of us think “I wish i could do something with this”- something beyond just writing a paper or grant. This talk covers practical aspects of how to get started commercializing your idea, either working with an established company (selling your idea or consulting time), or going in fully and creating a startup company.
