TURN RESEARCH INTO REAL-WORLD VALUE

Array Ventures works with individual researchers, research teams, universities, research institutions, laboratories and TTOs to help promising research move toward commercial application. We support the journey from early advisory and grants through IP, validation, industry engagement, technology transfer, licensing and venture creation.

Research & Commercialization Advisory

Commercialization starts by understanding what the research can become, who may value it and which pathway is most realistic. We help researchers and institutions evaluate the opportunity and build a practical commercialization roadmap.

COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL

Assess possible applications, market relevance, adoption potential and value creation.

APPLICATION MAPPING

Identify industries, users, problems and use cases where the research may create value.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY

Understand market size, alternatives, competition, industry dynamics and commercial attractiveness.

COMMERCIALIZATION PATHWAY

Evaluate licensing, technology transfer, industry partnership, joint development or venture creation.

BUSINESS MODEL

Develop value propositions, customer logic, revenue models and commercial structures where relevant.

READINESS ROADMAP

Define the research, IP, validation, prototype, funding and market milestones required to move forward.

Grant & Funding Support

Research often needs non-dilutive funding before it is ready for commercial investment. Array Ventures can support the grant journey from opportunity identification through application and post-award execution.

Identify relevant grants, schemes, programs and funding opportunities.

Assess eligibility, strategic fit, readiness, timelines and application requirements.

Develop the proposal structure, research narrative, commercialization case, impact story and supporting inputs.

Support budgets, milestones, partner requirements, consortium inputs and commercialization planning.

Coordinate documentation, submission readiness and application completion.

Support milestones, documentation, reporting, compliance and commercialization activities after funding is secured.

Technology Evaluation & Market Validation

Technical promise and commercial value need to meet. We help evaluate the technology from both perspectives so the next investment of time and capital is based on stronger evidence.

Review maturity, evidence, technical gaps and the next development milestones.

Identify high-value applications and prioritize the most credible use cases.

Validate the problem, buyer, user, adoption logic and willingness to engage.

Assess competing technologies, incumbent solutions and non-technology alternatives.

Examine adoption barriers, economics, route to market and commercialization requirements.

Translate technical capability into a clear reason for industry, users or partners to adopt.

Industry Collaboration & Pilots

Industry engagement can validate relevance, accelerate learning and create a path to adoption. Array Ventures can help connect research with appropriate industry problems, partners and pilot opportunities.

Technology Transfer

For commercially ready technologies, Array Ventures can support the journey from research ownership to an industry partner capable of taking the technology forward.

Licensing

Licensing can create a commercial pathway without requiring the research owner to build the entire operating business. Array Ventures can support the strategy, partner search and commercial process.

Research-Led Ventures & Spinouts

Some technologies create greater value through a new venture. Array Ventures can help assess whether a spinout makes sense and support the transition from research project to operating company.

Assess market opportunity, venture potential, team requirements, capital needs and commercialization logic.

Develop the customer, value proposition, revenue model, market strategy and economics.

Support founder or leadership formation, roles, governance and venture structuring.

Support product, brand, technology, GTM and operating requirements.

Prepare the venture for grants, investors and external capital.

Continue with advisory, execution or other Array Ventures support as the company develops.

Where Technology Readiness Level Fits

TRL is one reference point. The actual engagement depends on the research, sector, IP position, institution, evidence, market readiness and intended commercialization pathway.

TRL 1 TO 4

Research and commercialization advisory, opportunity assessment, grants, IP strategy, validation planning and commercialization roadmaps.

TRL 5 TO 8

Prototype refinement, proof of concept, pilots, market validation, industry partnerships, commercial strategy and funding support.

TRL 9 & COMMERCIAL READINESS

Technology transfer, licensing, commercialization partnerships, scale pathways and venture creation.
