ZP strongly believes that electro-analytical assays, sensors and biosensors can make a real impact to health, water security, agriculture, food production, environmental monitoring, but the problem is that the standard for publishing in academic literature is to achieve technology readiness level 3 (…studies and laboratory measurements validate analytical predictions of separate elements of the technology…). Whilst impact and the journey towards commercialization requires TRL 6 and above.
 
The factors that hold academic science at TRL3 is a blend of technology, psychology, training and only partially economical.
 
ZP would love to hear peoples opinions on why academic research sometimes feels stuck at TRL3, and why we have a lack of commercialization, we will partly cover our views on this in the webinar, but would love to hear your thoughts.

We are having two demos and webinars on the day so please come to the webinar most convenient to you.

Technologies that will be covered include:

ZP’s SenseItAll (SIA)  platform is designed to translate academic research into impactful techhnologies
