What the service aims to do

  • Decide which assets to commercialise first: patents, software, data, know-how, prototypes.
  • Choose the right route for each one: licensing, partnership, company creation, public funding.
  • Identify the relevant partners and funders.
  • Implement the priorities of your ICRI with your teams.
  • Measure, at the next ICRI, what has progressed.

In practice

The ICRI shows where your scientific capital lies and what is holding it back. Valorisation consulting picks up where the report leaves off: we examine in detail the assets it brought to light and work out a path for each one with you.

Cortex audits the selected assets, assesses their maturity and potential, then runs workshops with your teams to settle the decisions. We put you in touch with the right people (technology transfer offices, incubators, industrial companies, funders) and follow progress through to the next measurement.

How we work

  1. Review of your ICRI results.
  2. Inventory and audit of the selected assets.
  3. Analysis of the valorisation routes for each one.
  4. Decision workshops with your teams.
  5. Action plan and introductions.
  6. Progress reviews until the next ICRI.

Who is involved

  • The Cortex team that carried out your ICRI.
  • Scientific experts in your field.
  • Where needed, specialists in intellectual property and innovation funding.
