Beyond the Lab: Routes to Research Commercialisation
You don’t need to leave academia to see your research make it into the world.
This event is for researchers, PhDs, postdocs, and innovators building ambitious technology who are curious about commercialisation — whether or not they plan to become a full-time founder.
What the day will focus on:
Practical Routes to Commercialisation
Morning panels with Cambridge Future Tech and University of Aston on the role of Technology Transfer Offices in practice
Venture creation and commercial pathways with a venture builder, Cambridge Future Tech
Insights from a real-world spinout company
How different support models reduce risk and workload
And then
Afternoon applied conversations – Commercialisation Clinics
Bring your research and explore what it could become, in informal one-to-one discussions with CFT

Hosted by Aston University and Cambridge Future Tech, this session looks beyond theory and funding myths to unpack what actually happens between a promising idea and a real-world application.
Come if you want clarity and open discussion.
