A Clarkson University partnership speeds up the commercialisation of innovations developed at the university.
Clarkson University in the state of New York has created a partnership with US-based Protoscale, a company that connects startups with manufacturing partners and advises on scalable design.
The aim of the partnership, taking place with the Shipley Center for Innovation at Clarkson University, is to accelerate the commercialisation of innovations developed at the university.
Steve Davis, president of Protoscale, said: “I am excited to be partnered with the Shipley Center for Innovation at Clarkson to help bright entrepreneurs bring great inventions into the marketplace. The strong campus resources at Clarkson for creating proof of concept prototypes partner well with the expertise of Protoscale to finalise and procure commercial prototypes with manufacturers with a focus on scalability.”
Protoscale gave a presentation to startups working at the Clarkson Shipley Center and held one-to-one discussions with companies afterwards to discuss what they could do to help.
Matt Draper, executive director of the Shipley Center for Innovation, said: “Protoscale provides startups with access to expertise and guidance that would take them months or years to identify and connect with, thereby accelerating the commercialisation process and speeding up market entry.”
