Research that changes the world

Transforming your research into products and services that benefit society.

This is how we collaborate with our researchers

The entire process is free.

Idea Presentation

Can your research results or your good idea make a difference? We would very much like to hear from you. You can either start by sending us your idea (by email or DOFI form) or contacting us directly for an informal chat.

Idea Assessment

After you have presented your idea, we launch an assessment process. During the process, we look at uniqueness, prerequisites, marketing potential, possible competition, and commercial potential. If your idea meets these requirements, then it will move on to the project phase.

Project Phase

In this phase, we create a project plan and take appropriate action to bring your idea to the market. This may involve working with rights (patenting/trademark), conducting R&D activities, providing funding, creating prototypes, identifying partners, and developing a commercial strategy.

Commercialization Phase

During this phase, your product or service is ready to be launched. This can either happen by licensing it to an existing business, or by starting a new company responsible for further production, marketing, and sales.

Can your research results or your good idea make a difference?
