One of
the key ways that publicly funded research can have a
productive impact is through it being translated into
useable products, processes and services.Successful
innovation
is not about the ideas or inventions; it’s about
the people. Innovation is the ability to see change as
an opportunity and not a threat. As noted by Edward
Deming, “Innovation comes from the producer – not from
the customer”. Hence, at UTHM the innovation culture is
primarily centered around the development of our people
who are entrusted with the opportunity for innovation |
|
The university seeks to provide this
opportunity through concerted efforts, such as the
setting up of incubators, collaborative networks and a
knowledge sharing culture that is underlined by a
respect for intellectual property. At UTHM, colloquiums
are quickly becoming a regular feature within the
calendar of each faculty and centre. Currently at UTHM,
PPI handles the task of precommercialization, which
involves upscaling and the utilization of the concept of
incubators. The different modes of commercialization
that are currently available to commercialize UTHM
products are through Liscencing, Direct Sale, Equity
Ownership and Contract Research.
