Scale-Up Online Innovation Workshop – for academic researchers


About the SETsquared Workshop

The role that academics can play within a business such as problem solving and injecting new expertise is highly valued by innovative SMEs. This interactive online workshop is an opportunity for Early Career Researchers, Postdoctoral Researchers and PhDs to work with businesses to apply their knowledge to business specific challenges.

We’ve reshaped this event to suit the online environment and to ease your schedule and it will now be delivered in two digestible modules across two days (8 & 9 June). The sessions will be in the morning.

Delivered with our partners Strategyzer, the programme uses the Business Model Canvas as the central tool for the businesses taking part, alongside yourself as the academic partner, to really examine their existing business model and look for opportunities to inject new innovation.

Benefits of taking part:

 Open up collaboration opportunities

 Potential to form a lasting relationship with the company you work with

 Opportunity to apply your expertise in a business setting

 Get insights into the principals of the Business Model Canvas to inform teaching and research

As well as the two half day workshops, there is a requirement to attend two webinars. The first one introduces the Business Model Canvas and the second introduces the concept of testing assumptions.
