From Academia to Industry: Startups and Patents, Best Practices and Know-how

About

Over the course of a lifetime, changing a career path can be essential to realise one’s potentials. Deciding whether to pursue a future in an already established firm or embark on the adventure of setting up one’s own startup, the process can be daunting. Questions abound on how to recognise transferable skills, how to demonstrate these and seek out industry contacts, or discern a niche market for inventive products and services. Oftentimes, those who have developed their transferable skills as part of an academic career can feel that their qualifications and expertise are highly specific and so, translating their skill set to a career outside of academia might seem insurmountable.
