ComputerWorldUK have  published an article penned by the TrasnferSummit conference chair Ross Gardler by the title of "Where Invention Meets Innovation".

Ross writes "For an academic there is little joy in taking a solution to market, only in finding the solution. Entrepreneurs, on the other hand, are interested in taking those innovations to the market, or adopting them in their businesses" but warns that "Academics and entrepreneurs are different animals, with different priorities and different courtship rituals."

He goes on to assert the goal of TransferSummit is to "create a dialogue between academic, not-for-profit and for-profit organisations so that we can all benefit from the services available in UK Universities and Colleges."

Now that TransferSummit/UK 2010 has been and gone I think we can safely say it achieved this goal. Over the next few weeks we'll be reporting on the thoughts and writings of people who attended TransferSummit.
