UUniversities are a great place to get higher education, but they're also places where new ideas, concepts and technologies first take root. But how do new ideas make their way from the academic setting to the commercial setting?

UniServices is wholly owned by the University of Auckland and is a not-for-profit, stand-alone company that provides support to researchers by helping them secure the funding and connections that can help them make a positive impact.

Will Charles (great surname) has built an amazing career over time, tacking on new skills to make him a force in the world of commercialization of science and ensuring that University Intellectual Property simply doesn't gather dust on a shelf.

In this episode, Will and I discuss:
  1. What Technology Transfer is
  2. How UniServices supports acadmics and entrepreneurs alike
  3. 3. Will's recommendations for budding entrepreneurs - top tip: Get in early, make mistakes in a low-risk environment (i.e., while at university).
