Research Commercialisation Team

The Research Commercialisation Team, part of Durham Business & Innovation Services DBIS, acts as the point of focus for the commercialisation of innovative technologies arising from research within Durham University.  We have a proven track record for the commercial exploitation of new products, processes and strategies arising from the internationally leading research base.

Our aim is to:

• Commercialise the outputs of the research activity of the University.
• To achieve this through the identification of technologies with commercial potential and to protect, develop and commercialise through sale, licensing, business and industry collaboration.
• Where appropriate, to take innovative new technologies to the marketplace through spin out vehicles and to nurture and support these early stage ventures.
• To maintain a climate in which the exploitation of Intellectual Property generated in the course of research activity is a normal and automatic consideration.
