Commercialisation

Insight, in partnership with the universities’ Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs), has an impressive record of commercialisation its research; both licensing of intellectual property and nurturing spin-out companies. Twelve per cent of all licences across all domains and research institutes across Ireland come through Insight.

Depending on the field of expertise and the type of research you are interested in, the commercial potential of the research outputs will take different forms, from products, platform technologies and service provision to licensing of existing companies and the establishment of spin-out companies.

Our most recent spin-out is Output Sports, which is revolutionising the way athletic staff optimise sports performance using advanced signal processing and machine learning techniques.

For the first time ever, a wearable for exercise analysis will provide strength coaches, rehab professionals and athletes with valid, reliable and comprehensive analysis in a single, user-centric, fully integrated system.
