I4MS Talk: Transforming research results into market assets

Different manufacturing organisations might have different strategies to transform research results into market products, services or other assets. However, these are always linked to specific tactical choices or approaches, such as the exploration or exploitation of project outcomes, with many alternative paths to follow.

Risk taking or experimentation with new technologies will typically follow a different path from refinement or improvement of existing portfolio of assets. However, in a complex project, with many side results, that might have different level of technology maturity, exploration and exploitation approaches might co-exist.
