Innovation DB Forum helps business people turn science and technology into
commercial success, by collaborating with universities and research institutions
that produce world-class innovative technologies. Its database has details of
100,000‑plus technologies, 10,000s of innovative small businesses, and 100s
of university technology transfer offices.
With offices in the USA, France and
the UK, Innovation DB and Forum is
a growing community of more than
10,000. Innovation DB maintains the
world’s largest database listing novel
technologies available for licence and
purchase, and runs events, writes
technology market reports, and provides
its community with up-to-the minute
news of new technologies.
The Forum exists to bring together
those with novel technologies and
those who wish to commercialise them.
This includes universities, research
institutions, research councils, and
government-funded science and
technology laboratories and businesses
– from global corporations to start-ups
working with emerging technologies
and business people who want to be
part of an emerging tech company.
UK Innovation DB uses its online
forums, brokering meetings, databases
of licensable technologies and start-up
executives, plus other services, to allow
business people who turn technological
innovations into commercial success
to collaborate with each other and with
British universities and other research
institutions and laboratories that produce
world-class innovative technologies.
Innovation DB hosts events around
the country and gives early stage
technology companies the opportunity
to showcase their technologies, alongside
those from universities, to interested
corporate and commercial parties.
Innovation DB Forum was originally
established with the backing of the
Science and Technology Facilities
Council (www.stfc.ac.uk) as the UK
Innovation Forum – a heritage of which
we are proud. ■
