Getting a new idea off the ground
You can help to shape a successful future for your company by taking advantage of the advice, mentoring services, innovation centres and incubation units offered by most Universities. They actively encourage growth and provide the support new businesses need during those crucial early days.
Universities also generate a range of intellectual property (IP) in the course of academic study and research. Taking advantage of innovative ideas and leading-edge thinking could be a real boost for your business. Business partners can often help to ensure ideas are developed and taken effectively to market. Usually the partnership is in some form of licensing agreement.
