Proof of Concept Fund Workshop

Are you a Teesside University member of staff or academic with an idea, technology, or research output you’d like to explore for commercial or real-world impact?

Join us for an internal session focused on the Proof of Concept Fund. We’ll outline what the fund is, who it’s for, what a strong proposal looks like, and the routes to support available through the University, including how to access guidance on IP, market validation, and next steps towards spin-out potential.

What you’ll get:
• A clear overview of the Proof of Concept Fund, eligibility, and timelines
• Practical guidance on shaping a strong Proof of Concept application
• An introduction to support available across IP/commercialisation and business development
• Space to discuss your idea and get feedback on next steps
• Networking with other TU researchers and colleagues exploring commercialisation
• Breakfast on us

For Teesside University staff only | Registration required.
