The Office of Business Engagement & Commercialisation (BEC) provides experienced development support and advice on commercialisation and intellectual property, patent management, new ventures and entrepreneurship, major commercial research partnerships, and new research business opportunities.
We partner with researchers, allied parts of the university and external entities to help create impact through commercial engagement.
BEC's four key activities:
· Business Opportunity Development:
o Industry, government and community engagement
o Research project and partnership scoping
o Strategic support for proposal development
· Partnerships:
o Large-scale partnership development and commercial management
o Industry collaboration for major research bids, e.g. CRC, ITRP, CRC-P
· Commercialisation & IP:
o Invention disclosures
o Patent filing and management
o IP marketing and licensing
· New Ventures & Entrepreneurship:
o New start-up assessment
o New start-up advice and support
o Investment advice and support
BEC works alongside, and in collaboration with, ANU Enterprise.
