Looking to commercialise research?

Are you looking for novel ways to use your intellectual property?

Inventorium can work with universities, research institutes and other organisations, to see if there’s commercial potential in the intellectual property (IP) they already have.

If you already have something in mind, we help you look at it through a commercial lens. We’ll see if there’s a market for some of the research you’ve already been investing in.

If you haven’t yet determined what you’d like to pursue, Inventorium will work with you to identify these ideas and determine their value propositions. We also assist as you build a team and develop a strategy for bringing those products or services to market.

Sometimes it’s an aspect of a larger piece of research that has the potential to fit into the commercial world. We have the skills, knowledge and an innovative process that can help you discover those potentially marketable concepts. Inventorium service users also retain full control over their IP.

Inventorium can advise on grants and funding — including NDRC’s LaunchPad and Catalyser — and on choosing and approaching commercial partners that can help academically valuable research make a profit.

When you contact Inventorium, we’ll help you answer:

• What products or services can be developed using the IP you have?
• Who will take responsibility for bringing a chosen product to market?
• How will you find your customers?

Our services will depend on your needs and the opportunities you’ve already identified, but we offer:

Idea generation workshops: Identifying the potential of ideas requires disruptive thinking, brainstorming, and imagination.
Concept expansion workshops: Transferring innovative research and development into the commercial world means looking at it from different perspectives to find out where it fits.
Commercial development workshops: Once that potential is identified, you’ll need to clarify the offering and find a market.
Incubation space: Where appropriate, Inventorium offers short-term incubation space where you can begin to assemble your idea.

Awyddus i droi ymchwil yn fasnachol?

Ydych chi’n chwilio am ffyrdd newydd o ddefnyddio eich eiddo deallusol?

Gall Inventorium weithio gyda phrifysgolion, sefydliadau ymchwil a sefydliadau eraill, i weld a oes potensial masnachol yn yr eiddo deallusol sydd ganddynt yn barod.

Os oes gennych rywbeth dan sylw yn barod, byddwn yn eich helpu i edrych arno trwy lens masnachol. Byddwn yn gweld a oes marchnad ar gyfer rhywfaint o’r gwaith ymchwil y buoch yn buddsoddi ynddo eisoes.

Os nad ydych wedi penderfynu eto beth hoffech ei wneud, bydd Inventorium yn gweithio gyda chi i nodi’r syniadau hyn a phennu eu gwerth. Byddwn yn rhoi cymorth hefyd wrth i chi sefydlu tîm a datblygu strategaeth ar gyfer dod â’r cynhyrchion neu’r gwasanaethau i’r farchnad.

Weithiau, agwedd ar ddarn o waith ymchwil mwy sydd â’r potensial i berthyn yn y byd masnachol. Mae gennym sgiliau, gwybodaeth a phroses arloesol i’ch helpu i ddarganfod y cysyniadau y gallech eu marchnata. Bydd defnyddwyr gwasanaethau Inventorium hefyd yn dal gafael ar eu heiddo deallusol yn llawn.

Gall Inventorium roi cyngor ar grantiau ac ariannu — gan gynnwys LaunchPad a Catalyser NDRC — ac ar ddewis a chysylltu â phartneriaid masnachol sy’n gallu helpu gwaith ymchwil academaidd gwerthfawr i wneud elw.

Pan fyddwch yn cysylltu ag Inventorium, byddwn yn eich helpu i ateb:

• Pa gynhyrchion neu wasanaethau y gellir eu datblygu gan ddefnyddio’r eiddo deallusol sydd gennych?
• Pwy fydd yn ysgwyddo cyfrifoldeb am ddod â chynnyrch dewisol i’r farchnad?
• Sut byddwch yn dod o hyd i’ch cwsmeriaid?

Bydd ein gwasanaethau yn dibynnu ar eich anghenion a’r cyfleoedd rydych eisoes wedi’u nodi, ond rydym yn cynnig:

Gweithdai cynhyrchu syniadau: Er mwyn nodi potensial syniadau mae angen meddwl aflonydd, gallu tanio syniadau, a dychymyg.

Gweithdai ehangu cysyniad: Mae trosglwyddo ymchwil a datblygiad arloesol i’r byd masnachol yn golygu edrych arno o wahanol onglau er mwyn darganfod ble mae’n perthyn.

Gweithdai datblygu masnachol: Unwaith y bydd y potensial hwnnw wedi’i nodi, bydd angen i chi egluro’r hyn rydych yn ei gynnig a dod o hyd i farchnad.

Gofod i ddeor: Pan fydd yn briodol, gallwn ddarparu gofod tymor byr i ddeor eich syniad, er mwyn eich cynorthwyo i ddwyn elfennau’r syniad at ei gilydd.
