New Venture Creation 1: First Steps towards Spin-Outs and Start-Up Companies 4 April 2017

This course aims to equip knowledge transfer professionals to be aware of the reasons why academic, NHS and related institutions create companies. We will examine: how to evaluate opportunities, how to develop a value Proposition, how to assess business concepts; and how to present that proposition at an early stage. Company creation is a key element in the mix of instruments that allow Universities to deliver Impact from their funding inputs and research outputs, but can be a resource consuming process and so establishing early on 'what opportunities to work with' is an important skill.

Suitable for: Those with little practical experience of company formation, seeking to explore when creating a new venture is appropriate from a range of different stakeholder perspectives. It will develop practical hands-on skills in how to determine whether projects are suitable for new company formation and when to start a new company.
