Isis Innovation is a world-leading business owned by the University which manages the transfer of Oxford technologies to industry. In this talk, its Managing Director Tom Hockaday will explore the fascinating process behind technology transfer: from identifying technologies with potential for development and the protection of intellectual property to marketing to investors and creating new spin-out companies that realises the value of the technology.
