The summer school will provide a comprehensive and systematic overview of the most common aspects of commercialisation assessments and planning of Biotechnological Innovations. The course will cover BioIndustrials, HealthTech and Therapeutics. The course is focused on making assessments and decisions about commercialisation of science innovations, potential products and technologies and drafting a science-based business model. The programme will include cases from the pharma and medical industries and industrial sustainability business.
The course covers a broad set of topics including the innovation ecosystem, translation of technology, assessment of unmet needs, idea generation and evaluation, target product profile and minimal viable product, market and industry analysis, strategic value chain design, open and closed innovation, business models and confidentiality considerations in relation to patents.
