How we work with you as a researcher

The entire process is free of charge.

Idea presentation
Do you have research findings or an innovative idea with the potential to make an impact? We want to hear from you. You can start by sharing your idea via email or the DOFI form (Disclosure of Invention), or simply reach out to us for an informal conversation.
Idea assessment
After you present your idea and submitted a DOFI (Disclosure of Invention), we begin the evaluation process. We assess its uniqueness, market needs, potential competition, and commercial viability. If your idea meets these criteria, it progresses to the project phase.
The project phase
In this phase, we create a project plan and take the necessary steps to bring your idea to market. This may involve working with rights (patenting/trademarking), R&D activities, seeking funding, creating prototypes, identifying partners and developing a commercial strategy.
Commercialization phase
In this phase, your product or service is ready for market launch. This can be done either by licensing the invention to existing businesses or by starting a new company, responsible for further production, marketing and sales.

Testimonial from researcher

It is very useful to work with Norinnova from the very start and develop the proposal idea together and progressively from the DOFI (disclosure of invention), through the patent application, and the RCN Qualification grant. After such “journey” we were all on the same page, knowing both the subject, goals, and each other’s expectations, which enabled an efficient collaboration.

When creating a project application, timely and targeted feedback is extremely useful and stimulating. Business Developers Bronwyn and Magnus, always found time and capacity for going through the proposal and discussions.

Although initial formulation of the research is up to the researchers, Norinnova can help to proofread and bring the formulations to the level comprehensible by a generalist. >br>
Norinnova actively helps with the marketing/business part where scientists as me may lack expertise. Norinnova now has a history working with/on successful applications, and this expertise is extremely precious as they can provide fresh ideas and immediately understand if/what the proposal is still lacking. Their help with graphics was very much appreciated.
