Facing the challenge of needing to know whether to commit further to the commercialisation of an innovative process in the early stages when data is limited, the partners in the LevWave collaboration were able to benefit from Britest successfully piloting an understanding-based methodology for setting commercialisation objectives allowing key risks and knowledge gaps to be identified and addressed.
Conductive Organics, is a University of Strathclyde spin-out company, working to produce the next generation of conductive organic materials for use in emerging technologies such as Organic Light Emitting Diodes (OLED's). A Britest study enabled Conductive Organics to address the challenge of scaling-up the synthesis of the key organic compound at the heart of their innovative formulations, and to gather underpinning information to support their emerging business plan.
