Valorisation of Chemical Inventions with a Sustainable Technological Character

Abstract

Utrecht Holdings acknowledges the lack of valorisation opportunities that are chemical inventions (with a sustainable technological character). The internship elucidated reasons why these specific inventions flow less through Utrecht Holdings for commercial valorisation than for instance MedTech inventions. Interviews have been conducted to elucidate the desires (and invention requirements desired by) of the chemical industry. Recommendations have been made, including ones based on best practises of other Knowledge Transfer Offices, to improve the commercial valorisation of these specific inventions.
