Innovation and Commercialisation Sessions to Take Place in May 2026

From 25 to 28 May 2026, a series of expert sessions will focus on the journey from scientific discovery to innovation, intellectual property protection, venture capital readiness and biotech commercialisation.

The programme will feature speakers with experience in patent strategy, technology transfer, regulatory development, venture building and university spin-outs. Topics will include the commercialisation of intellectual property, phase-dependent CMC expectations, strategic patenting, preparing biomedical discoveries for venture capital, and practical case studies from university and biotech environments.

The sessions will highlight how early-stage research can be developed into commercially viable outcomes, including licensing opportunities, spin-out creation, investment preparation and long-term IP management.

Through practical examples and real-world case studies, the programme will provide insight into the key steps, challenges and decisions involved in moving research results beyond the laboratory and towards societal and commercial impact.
