So, your student had an idea for an invention or an innovative
way of doing something that will boost productivity, put more people
to work, and make lots of money for you and anyone who backs you?
As you've probably heard, you're the kind of person your country
needs - you're the cutting edge of the future.
You are one of those people that human progress depends on. We
all know that it hasn't been huge corporations that have come up
with the inventions that have revolutionised life.
As the inventor of penicillin, Sir Alexander Flemming said, "It
is the lone worker who makes the first advance in a subject: The
details may be worked out by a team, but the prime idea is due to
the enterprise, thought and perception of an individual." Innovators
like you are the lifeblood of a country.
Inventing is not an easy journey. There are many steps that you
need to take to bring your invention to the marketplace. But the
journey is a fantastic and exciting experience.
Our commercialisation progress map is a good place to start to understand
the complicated route an invention travels before it can be sold
on the shop floor.
