Commercialisation hand-holding proposal more than it seems
A Wellington and Auckland commercialisation hand-holding proposal more than it seems
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - 20 October 2011 ) It’s flown a bit under the radar, and the two organisations will in theory have identified their preferred collaboration model by the end of the year.
But, the announcement earlier this month that Industrial Research and UniServices (the University of Auckland’s commercialisation company) are to team up is a very interesting move.
Both organisations are in the business
of turning ideas into income, with IRL’s focus over the
past five years being clearly on helping NZ businesses grow
through better use of its physics, chemistry, engineering
and applied mathematics capability. UniServices manages all
of the university’s intellectual property, and turns some
of this IP into new products and companies. It makes most of
its money from contract research however, as well as licence
royalties from others’ using the university’s
ideas.
