SCIENTIFIC ACHIEVEMENTS WHICH CAN BE APPLIED NEED TO BE COMMERCIALIZED
BUT COMMERCIALIZATION IS AN ENTREPRENEURIAL TASK
We invite you to join an engaging and insightful series of lectures about different types of commercialization and approaches that can suit your personal needs.
“Commercialization Dive” is the first part of the “Creation-to-Capital Cycle” program, in 2023 awarded 1st place in Europe as the best deep-tech program, by the EIT Deep Tech Talent Initiative.
After the registration, we will contact you with access details.
For those who complete the program and find the methodology of Commercialization Reactor suitable, there will be further individual sessions and preparation for the “Ignition Event”, where you can showcase your scientific achievements to pre-selected entrepreneurial individuals and potentially form a startup team.

REVIEWS FROM TTOs
“I strongly recommend that all scientists attend the Commercialization Dive lecture series organised by Commercialization Reactor. There, everything a scientist needs to know about commercialisation pathways is explained in order to choose the most appropriate path for him/her. The Knowledge and technology transfer offices at universities can also help researchers choose the best path for them.”

Head of Department for Strategic Marketing of IPR at University of Ljubljana
ABOUT COMMERCIALIZATION DIVE PROGRAM
By completing “Commercialization Dive”, you will gain:
- Overview of the possible types of commercialization and the opportunity to understand which suits you best.
- Insights into the importance of commercialization, available ecosystem support, and the role of TTO and Commercialization Reactor in this process.
- An invitation to the “Ignition Event”, where you can showcase your scientific achievements to pre-selected entrepreneurial individuals and potentially form a startup team.
‼️ Participation is fully covered by Commercialization Reactor ‼️
Language: English
Format: 4 online modules with no active workshops or homework – just listen and reflect on your preferences and constraints. Short survey in the end of each module to make sure you understood all the content correctly.
+ Individual sessions for those who feel the CR method speaks to them and they would like to be prepared for the Ignition Event
The Ignition Event is a unique event for ambitious entrepreneurs and world-class scientific teams to launch their international deep-tech startups.
Here, we blend entrepreneurship and science to create startups based on Commercialization Reactor’s validated Science Commercialization Methodology.
The entrepreneurs become the business leaders and scientists keep building the scientific excellence and fundamental value of the newly formed venture.
It does not matter whether you are already experienced in entrepreneurship or deep-tech entrepreneurship – you can still become part of Commercialization Reactor’s community and science-based business ecosystem. We truly believe that deep-tech entrepreneurship is a mindset and a craft that one can learn and master!
How does the Ignition Event work?
- Commercialization Reactor selects researchers from all over the world that have reached a certain stage in the development of their technology
- We bring together entrepreneurs and scientists at the Ignition Event, where scientists present and explain their discoveries
- The entrepreneurs ask their selected researchers additional questions
- The entrepreneur selects technology and works together with the scientist to develop a brief pitch about the potential market application of the technology and to see whether there is team potentia
- The entrepreneur and the scientist present their pitch to the jury
- The entrepreneur and the scientist decide whether they are willing to establish a team, a proto-company.
“We were very honest. We are scientists, but when it comes to the business side – we needed help. And the Event provided an excellent Platform for this. It was an opportunity for us to pitch it but at the end of the day it was a case of being asked the right questions and coming together with the right team of people who will give us an opportunity to commercialize, which is not something we know how to do.”

Commercialization Reactor’s methodology explained in short
For more than 15 years, Commercialization Reactor’s methodology has been tested and validated in Latvia, where more than 150 startups were formed with international scientific teams and local entrepreneurs at their core, more than 50 of which received investments and continue to develop their business. The need for Commercialization Reactor’s methodology and its success were further recognized by the EIT, and it is now being expanded to other European countries.
In recent past, the Commercialization Reactor’s methodology helped to commercialize scientific research from various countries, including Latvia, Slovenia, Poland, Italy, , Spain, , United Kingdom, Turkey and more, cooperating with more than 30 universities and research centres, such as University of Latvia, University of Huddersfield, University of Ljubljana, University of Warsaw, Polytechnic University of Turin and more.
