Scenarios about 'research commercialization'
The process of transforming academic research findings and scientific discoveries into marketable products, services, or business ventures. Research commercialization bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical applications through technology transfer, patent licensing, spinoff companies, and industry-academic partnerships. This pathway has historically accelerated technological innovation while raising questions about the relationship between public research funding and private profit.
