Commercialisation in a challenging strategic market
Our Specialist Series on Defence enables a range of interdisciplinary practitioners to explore commercialisation through a Defence lens. With challenging and evolving domestic and international strategic and political landscapes, what is the best pathway for commercialising Defence-relevant research?
Participants will be introduced to foundation considerations for commercialisation opportunities and approaches to translating research either as Defence-only or Defence-also markets. We will begin with a capability perspective of Defence as a sector and use case studies to show how a capability view informs commercialisation approaches. Participants will also get an understanding of the organisational functional skills relevant to operating in the Defence sector. We will investigate the challenges of Defence commercialisation using a current theme—RAS and AI—and then finish by hearing from those with experience in Defence commercialisation.
