Periodic Reporting for period 1 - IONOSENSE-POC (Exploitation of Organic Electrochemical Transistors for Biological Ionsensing – Proof Of Concept)
Berichtszeitraum: 2015-04-01 bis 2016-09-30
1. Development of a prototype device on 12-well plate
2. Market research/ intellectual property research
3. Development and initial execution of exploitation strategy
Our goal has been to take this extremely promising technological breakthrough developed in an academic environment, and transition it to a prototype suitable for future commercialization. One year on, the three main aims of the project have been successfully achieved: a prototype device has been designed and is in the characterization phase, intellectual property has been identified and a patent has been submitted, a full market research report has been carried out, and discussions with future business partners are underway. Another important result of the project is that two of the scientists hired on the POC project have been hired by a company which has been created in the business incubator at EMSE, and with whom discussions are underway for commercialization of this project.
