Did you know?
On a global scale less than 10%
of university applied science discoveries move to the next stage of commercial growth.
The question: why?
Universities report that their researchers, who have created world leading technology solutions, need an easier way to consider their commercial options. They need better tools to showcase their technology and to identify potential partners across the world, and they want a simpler way to show the business potential of their innovation to TTO offices.
The problem? The tools didn't exist.
The solution?
We built the tools.
Nakoudu for Universities is a web-based tool for Physical Science and ICT researchers to receive online commercial skills mentoring relevant to industrial sectors, and step-by-step guidance to build a compelling business case for their discoveries.
With a clear business case established, TTO teams can move quickly to process patents, identify local partners and, when appropriate, build an international Industry Engagement profile for the discovery.
It's secure, fast, and simple, and it means we can accelerate global impact.
Move unfamiliar commercialisation tasks to a system designed to walk you through it and spend more time accelerating the reputation and global impact of your team.
It works in 5 easy steps:
Run a simple questionnaire to see if your discovery has start-up potential – If yes, lets’ build a business case
Researcher works through each section of business case creation via a guided form
University receives the technology disclosure via email & can login to view or download the matching business case at any time
The TTO can extract a CSV of all business case data on demand
A PDF report can be generated with all tech profiles for investors and potential industry partners to view.
Simple. Intuitive. Effective.
