Groundbreaking research means little if it never reaches the market. Without a clear commercialization pathway, valuable ideas stay locked in labs, innovation ecosystems underperform, and potential revenue is lost.
We help research institutions and businesses achieve this by:
We design and implement end-to-end research management & technology commercialization solutions:
We make research commercialization systematic and scalable:
Lebanon’s universities faced barriers to innovation, including limited commercialization funding, weak IP policies, minimal industry links, and underdeveloped technology transfer systems. The project aimed to establish robust processes, equip researchers with innovation tools, and pilot best practices to strengthen commercialization capacity.
Mapped Lebanon’s innovation ecosystem, benchmarking against global models to identify gaps. Developed tailored technology transfer frameworks, designed commercialization roadmaps, and delivered actionable recommendations. Piloted the approach across five universities for relevance and scalability.
Egyptian universities and research institutions needed a practical framework to transform research outputs into market-ready solutions. The project aimed to create a roadmap for research valorization, focusing on technology transfer, intellectual property management, and spin-off development to strengthen industry-academia collaboration and drive economic growth.
Analyzed global innovation cycles, mapped Egypt’s current research-to-market landscape, and identified gaps in technology transfer practices. Our approach involved benchmarking best practices, mapping enabling entities, and designing an actionable roadmap to enhance university technology transfer capabilities and ensure their financial sustainability.
This bootcamp aimed to accelerate the commercialization of research-based innovations by equipping researchers, entrepreneurs, and innovators with practical tools in IP protection, market validation, and investor pitching. The program helped participants navigate the journey from prototype to market entry.
Innovety prepared the full bootcamp design—agenda, materials, and assessments—and delivered training covering innovation, entrepreneurship, and IP management. The team conducted pre/post assessments, evaluated participants’ pitches and engagement, and provided a final implementation report with insights and recommendations.
Zewail City University engaged Innovety to build the capacity of its staff through a Train‑the‑Trainer program. The goal was to enhance their ability to deliver engaging soft skills training, adapt teaching to diverse learner needs, and create impactful learning experiences for students and peers.
Delivered an intensive capacity‑building program covering adult learning styles, learner types, and effective training methodologies. Participants practiced various delivery methods through hands‑on exercises, receiving real‑time feedback to refine their approach. Tailored recommendations and follow‑up support were provided to ensure sustainable application of the ToT model.
This project aimed to help the University of Saint Joseph (Lebanon) and the American University in Cairo (Egypt) overcome matchmaking challenges with industry. The goal was to enable these universities to identify and map applied research opportunities that address industrial value chain needs, facilitating technology transfer and commercialization.
Identified innovation champions within universities, trained them to collect and assess research outputs, and developed a value chain mapping template. These champions mapped internal research across industrial value chains, consolidating opportunities into a practical guidebook for commercializing university technologies and assets.
UNDP engaged Innovety to strengthen A‑Venture, an Algerian accelerator, by identifying gaps in its operations and enhancing its capacity to support startups. The project aimed to conduct a full needs assessment, develop and deliver tailored training on business planning and monitoring & evaluation, and build A‑Venture’s ability to better guide entrepreneurs.
Conducted primary and secondary research to assess A‑Venture’s operational and programmatic gaps, then designed a customized training plan addressing these needs. Innovety developed practical training materials using the Mission Model Canvas and M&E techniques, delivered hands‑on sessions to staff and startups, and measured learning outcomes through pre‑ and post‑training assessments.
To support student and alumni entrepreneurs in Lebanon, Université Saint-Joseph’s Competencies and Entrepreneurship Center (EC²) sought to identify sustainable business directions for its three satellite offices. The objective was to develop a framework for business opportunities that outlines essential services, partnerships, and offerings to help the centers foster entrepreneurship and achieve long-term sustainability.
Innovety conducted an in-depth assessment of Lebanon’s entrepreneurial landscape and EC²’s current position within it. Building on these insights, the team identified strategic business directions aligned with market needs and EC²’s capabilities. These models were then validated through collaborative workshops with key stakeholders to ensure relevance, feasibility, and impact.
