Where to get support when commercialising early-stage technologies?

Selected PATLIB centres can advise you in the area of commercialisation of IP rights. In addition, the EPO initiative for High-growth technology businesses (HTB) provide several events (e.g. conference, forum), which can be another helpful resource. High-growth technology businesses are typically small and medium-sized enterprises or start-ups that bring innovation, employment and productivity to traditional as well as new industry sectors. It is designed to encourage business decision-makers in the high-tech field to engage with IP to create value and to train IP professionals in business-focused IP management systems.
