Join the ICAM community for a webinar that explores what it looks like to take research from a university lab and develop it into a commercial entity. This webinar will be especially useful for colleagues based at Imperial and members of the wider Imperial community as we’ll be welcoming speakers from Imperial who’ve taken this journey themselves, along with colleagues from Imperial’s Enterprise and Partnerships teams.
We’ll be joined by Dr Mengzheng Ouyang, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of M-Spin Ltd and Professor Nigel Brandon, Chair of M-Spin. M-SPIN develops, manufactures and sells unique high surface area, high porosity metal sheets, sometimes described as metallic mats for battery, electrolysers and thermal management applications. They’ll share their experience of creating M‑Spin, how their research developed into a commercial opportunity, the challenges they encountered and the practical support they received from Imperial’s Commercialisation team.
We’ll also hear from Imperial’s Miguel Cheng, Commercialisation Executive and Mei Chong, Partnerships Executive. They’ll discuss the types of support available at Imperial for researchers who are curious about commercialising their research.
Our guest speakers will also answer audience questions during the final segment of the webinar.
