Open innovation, IP & technology scouting

No R&D team can do everything in-house. I help you find and work with universities, start-ups and suppliers, and make sure your own inventions are protected.

What I can do for you

  • Technology scouting and partner selection
  • Set-up of open innovation programmes and collaboration agreements
  • IP strategy and patent protection for food innovations
  • New business development and technical capability building

Questions I often help answer

  • Who could help us solve this technical challenge faster?
  • Is this invention worth patenting?
  • How do we work with a university without losing speed?

Relevant experience

I have set up open innovation collaborations, worked in academic research in Europe and Japan, and managed IP for industrial R&D programmes.
