Important results from the project
The goal was to contribute to increased commercialization and utilization of knowledge assets, research results and ideas from Umeå University. The project has contributed to project ideas from all faculties of Umeå University recieving the opportunity to test and verify their hypotheses regarding intellectual property rights, solution, needs and market or use. The project has contributed to the start of new companies, new products and services, and implementation via external actors.
Expected long term effects
Thanks to the project, the Innovation Office´s support to researchers and students has become clearer and more visible, which in turn will lead to an increased interest in commercialization and utilization among researchers and students at Umeå University.
The accumulated experience generated in the project will also result in that the Innovation Office will become better at supporting the idea bearers through the verification journey.
Approach and implementation
The project´s setup has involved continuous development of our verification methods and has also involved various activities to stimulate the inflow of new ideas. We have conducted the project from a broad utilization perspective, involving application within existing operations, via licensing and via the start of new companies. The project has addressed different scientific disciplines, as well as both researchers/teachers and university students.
