Licensing university innovation to industry is a complex process, and even experienced Knowledge Exchange (KE) and Technology Transfer professionals can fall into common pitfalls that hinder successful commercialisation. From misaligned expectations to poorly structured agreements, these mistakes can lead to lost opportunities, stalled negotiations, or failed partnerships.
In this interactive webinar, two seasoned industry experts—both with extensive experience licensing university technologies—will share their insights on the key challenges they frequently encounter when engaging with academic institutions. Following brief presentations from each panellist, the session will focus on an extended live Q&A, providing attendees with the opportunity to ask questions, discuss real-world challenges, and gain practical advice.
Designed for KE professionals, this session offers a rare chance to hear directly from the industry’s perspective, helping participants refine their approach, improve deal structures, and foster stronger, more effective industry partnerships.
A must-do for any staff involved in technology transfer and start-up creation.
