Discovery 11 Panel : Exemplary and Emerging Models in Commercialization

At the inaugural International Commercialization Forum, held in Ottawa in March, a group of thought leaders and practitioners from 18 countries discussed exemplary practices in commercializing research outcomes and effective innovation models. Participants shared the most compelling novel ideas to improve the state of global innovation. At the Forum's conclusion, 48 organizations with a common vision focused on openly sharing knowledge and expertise, formally established the International Commercialization Alliance to work together on projects of global interest. This session provides a synopsis of thought-provoking insights gained from the discussions and an overview of the Alliance established and where it goes from here.
