Summary

The overwhelming value of most early-stage companies resides in their intellectual assets. However, most senior managers (of TTOs or early-stage companies) usually have no idea how to value their inventions or companies. The inability to value intangible assets puts universities and start-ups at a severe disadvantage when trying to monetize their discoveries through capital raises, licensing, joint-ventures or sales.

This Training Week will include a two-day training workshop at University of Aveiro, on the 10th and 11th of May. The training will focus on the valuation of intangible assets since the inability to do so puts universities and start-ups at a severe disadvantage when trying to monetize their discoveries through capital raises, licensing, joint-ventures or sales.

The two training days will be composed by three sessions, each with a hands-on training based on case studies to consolidate the learning process, namely:

session I - Valuation of Technology in University Licensing,
session II - Valuation of Early-Stage Companies, and
session III - Should the University own Equity in Start-ups?
