Are you an aspiring entrepreneur? Interested in how research is commercialised? Then read on!

“Our team was like a small company, working together to achieve a common goal”, Salvatore Mascia, former President of CUTEC

In the ground-breaking i-Teams programme, postgraduates from across the University work together to discover the commercial potential of a real University invention. Each team collaborates with researchers and industry mentors to assess the route to market for the emerging technology. At the end of the term, the team presents their findings to a business and academic audience and has the opportunity to present to an international audience at the CUTEC Technology Ventures Conference.

i-Teams lasts for a term and includes regular group sessions, team meetings and individual work.
