Universities generate knowledge. Industry buys outcomes.
Between those two realities lies a communication gap that hinders or prevents collaborations, delays partnerships, and limits impact.
This session addresses a structural problem: researchers are trained to demonstrate authority; industry is trained to assess risk, return, timing, and execution. When these two worlds meet, they often talk past each other. Academics emphasise novelty and rigour. Industry evaluates revenue models, pricing logic, integration risk, speed to deployment, and internal decision cycles.
During the session some insights will be given on how to train researchers to communicate effectively with industrial partners.
