This course has been designed to provide attendees with the knowledge and tools to evaluate leading technologies and develop a compelling business plan to support the commercialisation of a technology that they wish to exploit. This could be equally applicable to the formation of a technology-based start-up or the development of a new business area within an existing organisation.

The course includes lectures on key concepts and frameworks but crucially this is combined with an experiential learning component, where attendees work in teams to evaluate a leading technology and develop an outline business plan. Those completing this demanding course will not only be provided with up-to-date theory and best practice but they will also experience and gain the skills required for technology-based business planning.
