Innovation and transfer seminars: Lean Start up methodology and customer discovery

The UAB Research Park and the UAB PhD School have teamed up to organise a series of seminars to give tools to the research personnel in training.

The seminars, which are free, offer different tools and methodologies to apply the research results and obtain skills on entrepreneurship and innovation, besides understanding the key aspects of the tech transfer ecosystem. The goals of the program are the following:

• Discovering the possible transfer uses of their thesis to society.
• Improving the quality of the thesis, focusing it on applicability and innovation.

Thus, they promote the personal growth and improve the confidence on the presentation of the project, optimising the communication according to the needs of the audience.

The second seminar will take place on February 9th, from 3 to 5:30 pm, by Javier de la Ossa. The session will be focused on the Lean Start-up, an innovative methodology for the development of new projects and companies, sustained on validated learning, fast experimentation, and continued itineracy. Moreover, different tools will be provided in order to effectively identify problems and to validate the proposed answers. This methodology allows the optimisation of resources and the increase of the probabilities of success, adjusting the ideas to the needs of the market in an efficient and dynamic way.
