1870 - Innovation Fellowship - General Business Mentors

Regional

The Innovation Fellowships focus on the commercialisation of ideas, products and processes from research activities, with the primary aim to increase the flow of new technology from universities to business.
The programme, which is spread across universities in the East Midlands, addresses the 'funding gap' that exists for commercial opportunities arising from the research base of the university in forming a starting point in the commercial development of these opportunities at a time when commercial investment in the opportunity is not justifiable. The funding not only provides for Proof of Concept and Prototype development, but also includes an element of business training.
It aims to encourage and facilitate the early steps towards the commercialisation of research and provides a stepping-stone, enabling academics to achieve development milestones that lead to them securing commercial investment or industry contracts.
