Over this five-day session, we’ll:

• Align your centre’s mission and innovation pipeline with real-world market opportunities.

• Demystify governance models that balance academic autonomy, industry collaboration and investor expectations.

• Unpack best practices for securing and leveraging IP, navigating tech-transfer offices and structuring licensing deals.

• Explore diverse funding pathways—from internal seed grants to venture capital alliances—and learn how to pitch for each.

• Cultivate a stakeholder engagement strategy that harmonises faculty, funders, industry partners and student-entrepreneurs.

• Foster an entrepreneurial culture: building agile teams, setting milestone-driven roadmaps and sustaining innovation momentum.

Through an interactive blend of case studies, group exercises and peer-to-peer problem solving, you’ll leave with a customised action plan to fast-track your centre’s spin-outs and amplify your university’s impact.
