ProgrammesThe course " Generating Business from Research" is addressed to researchers, innovation managers, technology transfer professionals, and potential participants interested in EIC Transition and in the exploitation of research results through spin‑offs.
Having a promising research result does not necessarily mean that it can, or should, be transformed into a viable business. The objective of this course is to equip learners with a clear and practical framework to assess when launching a business makes sense and, equally importantly, when it does not.
The framework is built around three cascading questions:
These questions are explored not only from a theoretical perspective, but also through practical examples, helping learners connect strategic reasoning with real‑world decision‑making.
The ultimate goal is to enable learners to replicate this assessment process autonomously, apply it to the business ideas they are developing or supporting, and obtain a realistic and honest assessment of their commercial potential.

Autoship is, as the name suggests, an acronym for autonomous ship. Just like with self-driving cars, the possibilities of an unmanned boat seem endless. It can create more efficient freight transport, around the clock deliveries and these are just a few of the examples. The project has two societal challenges.
At first, De Vlaamse Waterweg was a bit hesitant as their experience with FP7 or Horizon 2020 projects was limited and they had not been very successful up until then. The fact that they were already doing basic research on the topic of autonomous boats, and the administrative help of NCP FLanders helped De Vlaamse waterweg to cross the line and get involved.
