The successful commercialization of the results of scientific works, R&D and inventions as well as cooperation between research centres, industry and business is becoming crucial in regional development. In the modern world of science, it is not an invention but innovation (i.e. its implementation and the profit from it) that determines success.

Therefore, the aim of this module is to enable the attendees to identify key factors for successful innovation, recognize business opportunities by assessing market needs, describe the technology in problem-solution terms and find viable applications for the technology.
