SPECIALISED TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER AND INNOVATION MANAGEMENT CONSULTING
Science is the key to solving today’s global challenges, and commercialisation is one of the most efficient ways to benefit from deeptech innovations and research-based ideas and knowledge. The transition of science to business does, however, not happen automatically. Specialised technology transfer and innovation management expertise combined with the right networks are often needed to reach a successful outcome — and this is where Nordic Catalyst® can help you!
Nordic Catalyst’s consulting services are tailored to support research organisations and companies specifically with technology transfer and innovation management related questions and initiatives. Nordic Catalyst’s founder Dr. Saara Inkinen has been working with industry-focused R&D, innovations, and commercialisation in an international environment since 2005 and she can hence thoroughly understand the needs of the research community as well as the goals of businesses, and, most importantly, how to bridge the gap between science and business.
