The ability to commercialise new technology rapidly is essential for competitive advantage in dynamically changing public and private sector environments. ECIC’s suite of Science and Technology Commercialisation programs are designed for working professionals who want to become change catalysts for the improvement of commercialisation processes. Graduates are equipped to make informed technology management and planning decisions, whether starting or operating high-technology ventures or developing spin-off companies.

Ideal participants in Science and Technology Commercialisation programs have an interest in bringing new technology and science to the market faster and better, whether for profit or for public good. They come from all disciplines, industry and functional backgrounds, and generate vibrant debate as they share, create and disseminate knowledge through the programs.

Students will gain the knowledge and innovation skills to cope with the formidable economic, social, financial, and political changes associated with creating value from knowledge in an age of global information and digital knowledge. The focus is on the rapid transfer of research, knowledge, and technology from the laboratory to the market.
