STEM Matching Journey

Whether you are a research leader or STEM Founder, our competency matching option can be leveraged to bridge the gap between academia and commercial markets by matching new research and innovation with businesses in need.

Stage 1:

Due Diligence & Competency Mapping

Our first step will be to analyse your innovation and competencies, allowing us to build a comprehensive profile that we can use to leverage against business needs in our AI matching algorithm.

Stag 2:

AI Competency Matching

Next, we will utilize our AI to cross-reference your profile against our live business database, performing one-to-many competency and needs matching that identifies businesses who are actively looking for your innovation and skillset.

Stage 3:

Joint Venture Workshops

This stage is focused on creating the initial connections and ensuring both parties are happy to move forward with a joint venture. This would also include industry or skills based workshops to ensure a smooth transition.

Stage 4:

Venture Building & Investment Readiness

Once a joint venture is confirmed, you will be admitted to our 6-12 month venture builder programme, where we will work 1-on-1 to implement your innovation and supply on-demand support for any issues that may arise.
