Abstract

Nearly every inventor or researcher can be an innovator as long as they are committed and dedicated to converting their (potentially useful) invention into a valuable product. The obstacles are mainly related to inadequate knowledge of the various stages to be followed as well as insufficient perceived incentives to take the technology further than technical feasibility. The procedures to be followed are specific and can be taught but will only work if the inventor or researcher is directly involved, either in a start-up company or within a joint venture with a directly interested company.
