The Challenge

Universities continue to generate world class research, digital innovation and intellectual property. Many institutions are highly successful at developing early stage concepts, securing funding and validating ideas through pilots or proof of concept projects.

However, moving digital innovation beyond proof of concept and into commercially viable, scalable and supportable products is a very different challenge.
Common barriers include:

  • Limited operational software delivery capability
  • Unclear commercial pathways
  • Difficulty scaling early stage technology
  • Technical and infrastructure challenges
  • Lack of long-term support and product management capability
  • Commercial and industry alignment

This is where many promising digital innovations stall.
