SISTER METHOD is a two-step structured process for scouting and exploiting effective findings of research and for managing and enhancing their transfer to market
The first step of the process is where findings are controlled and validatedThe second step offers and supports three alternatives of exploitation: - transferring the findings to an already established company- partnering between research and industry for further development- exploitation or creation of a research spin-off company
Each stage entails a coordinated series of operations and value added services to be provided to researchers
