Commercial
success can be driven more by organisational culture than by technological
strength alone. This is particularly true for universities and groups with
governmental ties. Finding routes to commercial success without compromising
the core, non-commercial business and while handling multiple stakeholders
can be challenging.
Our working relationships with the leading UK universities, the UK Ministry of Defence, the US State Department and multiple Public Sector Research Establishments means Synergis has the expertise your group or project needs.
Synergis can help you with:
Technology transfer policy and strategy
Synergis will help your organisation take control of its own commercialisation strategy. At Synergis, we find that successful commercialisation depends on experience and practical thinking, rather than on theory, expensive software packages or complex processes. We work within your existing system to help you start succeeding, rather than merely to start restructuring. Our team includes a former head of technology transfer as well as experienced investors and entrepreneurs. We know what works.
Intellectual property audit
Occasionally, the most valuable assets are ones you didn't know you had. Synergis can help you to assess your portfolio of intellectual property, and to help exploit these for maximum benefit. By advising you where the greatest potential value resides and how you can build on it commercially, Synergis helps you to balance the conflicting needs of research, career development and commercialisation.
Business planning and strategy
For both start-ups and for their parent organisations, creating a strong business plan is essential to setting and managing your objectives. Whether you need help writing a business plan, developing a market entry strategy or are seeking funds, Synergis provides a robust commercial perspective that can help you.
Training
Establishing a strong technology transfer office requires a range of processes and procedures, as well as a considerable culture change. Our staff have worked with and managed tech transfer offices at universities and Public Sector Research Establishments giving Synergis the hands-on experience you need when seeking training and advice for your organisation. Our work in this area is well known, and we have helped institutions worldwide, including work with the UK Ministry of Defence and the US State Department.
