What are Commercialization Barriers? What are strategies to overcome them? Join our expert faculty and the Tech Innovation Fellows to share your insights and learn from our latest research.
Here is the recorded webinar video:
The Valley of Death, where R&D dies and fails to advance to become a commercialized solution, is well known. But did you know there are many “valleys” depending on the stage of a product’s maturity? And there are different interventions required depending on where a solution is in its journey.
As part of our ongoing work on Barriers to Entry and Commercialization, we are diving deep into the barriers that prevent promising technologies from advancing to become viable solutions in the market. Our ultimate goal is to back up anecdotal examples with a real framework that can be used by programs, scouts and any one in the innovation ecosystem to accelerate the pace of commercialization.
Join us to learn from our research and share your perspectives. Agenda includes:
- Research insights on barriers and solutions to commercialization
- Roundtable discussion with Tech Innovation Circle and faculty
- Open forum discussion with all participants
About the Barriers to Entry and Commercialization Initiative
In collaboration with faculty from NC State University, University of Virginia School of Business and Arizona State University, Public Spend Forum is leading the Barriers to Entry and Commercialization initiative. Objectives include to:
- Create a fact base to understand barriers and emerging solutions/approaches that enable easier access to government funding
- Build capacity for better market understanding and engagement
- Identify and promote promising solutions/practices that can be scaled while creating policy imperative to drive additional solution
This initiative, in collaboration with the TECH INNOVATION CIRCLE, includes (1) an expansive survey , building on Public Spend Forum’s Barriers to Entry survey; (2) focus groups with experts, companies and leaders to dive deeper into specific issues and solutions; and (3) facilitated Roundtables and webinars for open discussion of ongoing research.
