We kicked off September at VARA Innovation Specialists with a well attended and very engaging commercialisation exploration workshop delivered in collaboration with the TU Dublin Research and Innovation team. 👊

The focus of this practical commercialisation exploration workshop is to get research teams from Technological University Dublin to start thinking about their research from a potential customers perspective using lean start-up tools and techniques. The work we are doing with TU Dublin Research and Innovation team is demonstrating an effective model for Irish Universities to build a pipeline of project teams interested in commercialising their technologies, substantially increasing demand for commercialisation support and funding 🚀According to Dr. Paul Maguire, TU Dublin’s Head of Innovation & Knowledge Transfer, “TU Dublin Innovation’s commercialisation metrics have increased substantially this year, and the support provided by VARA Innovation Specialists has significantly contributed to that.”

Thanks to David Gardiner, RTTP, MBA and Danielle Whelan for the hard work in arranging the event.
