Acceleration Toolkit for Expediting Research-to-Market Transition, Launched by SETsquared
The SETsquared Partnership, a renowned organisation dedicated to driving innovation and economic growth, has launched a new resource to simplify the process of turning academic research into commercial ventures. The Research Commercialisation Toolkit, available at https://toolkit.setsquared.co.uk/, aims to support a variety of stakeholders, including academic researchers, university technology transfer offices, start-up founders, small businesses, and corporations, in efficiently developing and commercialising research outputs [1][3].
The Toolkit offers a comprehensive set of standardised templates, checklists, and practical guides, designed to provide structured guidance and frameworks for the research commercialisation journey. It is intended to help these groups by facilitating partnerships, enhancing investment readiness, and fostering entrepreneurial development rooted in research innovation [1][3].
In collaboration with legal experts and investors, the Toolkit was created by the SETsquared Partnership and has been funded by Research England. Its purpose is to bridge the gap between academia and industry, contributing to economic impact and growth [1]. The Toolkit is not limited to any specific group, but rather is designed to support all stakeholders in the research commercialisation journey, whether they are academic founders, technology transfer offices, or venture investors [2].
The Toolkit serves as a valuable resource for those embarking on the research commercialisation journey, offering practical guides to navigate the complex process. It is a testament to SETsquared's commitment to fostering innovation and supporting the growth of businesses based on groundbreaking research [1].
