Business expert – share your knowledge!

Help the researchers turn their idea into commercial success! Business ideas based on research need commercialising experts to grow and prosper. We are looking for business mentors: experts, experienced entrepreneurs, or investors, who want to put an effort in developing new business.

Become a business mentor

Share your knowledge as an experienced entrepreneur or business expert to a researcher whose results have commercial potential. The researchers need support in commercialising, productising, and applying for funding.

To create a successful new business, it is crucial to have commercialising resources. Helping researchers to commercialise their ideas, you have an excellent chance to explore the business opportunities of the most recent research. As a business mentor you support researchers by helping them develop business and apply for funding. Mentors volunteer for working with the researchers but research-based business has plenty of opportunities.

We are looking for new business experts to join our commercialising projects.

Contact us if you are interested in working as a mentor!
