Summary

Highly skilled, knowledgeable staff and academics leave Universities and research institutions every day for many reasons, plus pandemic disruptions have accelerated the outflow.

Why Research2Revenue?

1

R&D
Acceleration

Despite high levels of government funding and world class research institutions, the pace of company formation and IP licensed startups remains low.

2

Career
Development

Academics leave institutions to pursue other career options, perhaps leaving the country or their field, which delivers only low return on their training and skills to Australia.

3

Effective
Commercialisation

University commercialisation offices have a part to play but the pace of Startup licensing and formation is too low, whilst academics who are still employed lack the incentive to leap into hard work of forming a company and building a Startup.

4

Meaningful
Impact

Restructured academics are a highly skilled group who could be quickly trained through a quality Startup incubator, to allow them to successfully form Startups, using their accumulated knowledge and experience. Without the option to return to their academic roles they are more motivated to build their own success.

Academics leaving/left Australian Universities or Research Institutions who would like to
launch their own startup but don’t know where to start.
No need to have a business idea about your research, our advisor will work with you to explore market opportunities.
