BSC’s Innovation & Business Development Area and the X4HPC Network, with the help of Malcolm Bain, main recognized expert in the field of IP open source and open hardware licensing, have elaborated this guide as a practical tool that can be used by technology transfer centers, principal investigators and research groups (postdocs PhD students), to help them navigate their journey to the market and find the best strategy to valorise their open source and open hardware assets.

The 2023 edition of the Innovation Journey will take place from October 19 to November 30, 2023 and aims to promote entrepreneurship among BSC-CNS and X4HPC researchers.

The Innovation Journey is a training program in technology transfer thought and designed for BSC and X4HPC researchers willing to unleash their inner entrepreneur and acquire the tools to bring their technologies into the market.

The program will mix theoretical lectures, interactive workshops, and excursions. In every session, we will get out of the lab to visit actual companies and key players in the ecosystem: researchers, entrepreneurs and investors. This innovative curriculum will simulate a real go-to-market journey over 7-steps. Our experts will guide participants through the theory behind each step to ensure a deep understanding of the main concepts and processes.

In the first editions, we had the chance to gather 20 brilliant and passionate researchers to enjoy exchanging ideas and learning through interactive seminars and workshops by established experts and successful entrepreneurs’ real journeys.

As members of the DIH4CAT, in which BSC coordinates de supercomputing node, we offer our researchers the access to this free online training platform. If you are a deep tech entrepreneur in HPC looking for a new investment round, this will really interest you.
