Market Analysis

Inspiring Young Technologists to Commercialise.

Inspiring scientists to explore their inner entrepreneur is pivotal in these changing times. 80% of tech companies that fail in the first 3 years do so, not because of the technology, but because of a lack of sales.

Training scientists to identify and communicate the business vision behind emerging technologies from the highly regarded universities in Scotland and Finland is important and can help students determine if they really want to move into further research or if a more commercial role is a better career path for them. SSC has worked with Strathclyde University for more than 10 years to train and support groups of final year students at SIPBS (Strathclyde Institute for Pharmacy and Biomedical Science) to provide professional quality market research reports highlighting market opportunity and route to product launch for more than 30 projects from the University.

Quote from Catherine Breslin - Head of IP & Commercialisation at University of Strathclyde:

“Cait's support for our Enterprise students surpassed expectations from the start and she has now made herself indispensable to the Hub and is a valued contributor to the wider SIPBS community.”
