From Scientist to Scientist On Commercialising Scientific Research

The scale of venture innovation today is having a profound effect on many aspects of our lives, from our health, our productivity in our environment. Start-ups can have a positive impact on the economy and society but there is a risk that there will be a loss in costs due to ineffective product development, an ineffective team, negative externalities and the continuously changing technology landscape.
