How we help | Tech Transfer Office Support

An external office, working as part of your team.

An external tech transfer office that operates as a boutique extension of your team. Cradle-to-grave commercialisation support for universities, research institutes and research organisations whose in-house teams need a helping hand, or who have no commercialisation function at all.

A two person office is not a small version of a twenty person one

The constraint is not usually capability, it is capacity and when head count matters, we are here to help.

Who it’s for

Built for teams carrying more than the headcount allows

Whether there is a small team already in place or nobody at all, this covers the parts of commercialisation that need specialist experience.

No commercialisation function

Real innovation coming through the organisation, and nobody whose actual job it is to move it forward.

Small teams at capacity

A capable one to three person office already running flat out, needing depth on the pieces that take specialist experience.

Organisations in a growth period

Deal flow has outpaced the team, and building headcount is far slower than the opportunities are arriving.

HOW IT WORKS

A commercialisation office you can draw on, without building one

We pick up the commercialisation functions that need specialist experience, and work alongside your team. For some organisations that is the whole function. For others it is the two or three pieces the in-house team cannot cover.

Engagements run as an ongoing arrangement rather than a series of projects, because commercialisation rarely finishes when a piece of work does. Have a chat with us and we will work out which parts you need.

What you actually get

The full commercialisation function, available in the parts you need

Take all of it or take the pieces that are missing. Most organisations start somewhere in between.

Outcomes

What changes when the capacity arrives

Five shifts organisations consistently describe once commercialisation has the attention it needs.

Nothing sits waiting

Innovations and opportunities are progressed rather than sitting in queue.

Specialist work gets prioritised

A deeper dive into the technology and the deal is completed.

The in-house team stops firefighting

More capacity frees up the team to focus on relationship building and working with partners and stakeholders.

Full coverage without the headcount

A complete commercialisation function, scaled to what the organisation can genuinely fund.

Continuity across the whole journey

The same people from first innovation through to deal, so context never has to be rebuilt.
