Pushing boundaries: a path to commercializing open hardware

Overview

There are many examples of academic spin-outs created on traditional technology transfer, but just a handful built on open hardware. In this talk I will showcase the impact of open hardware on the creation of two products at Dispertech, my first company. I will also review the challenges associated with technology transfer of open designs, the roles of patents and other forms of intellectual property. Finally, I will discuss about potential business models and the value open hardware can deliver.

Speaker

Aquiles Carattino, PhD. Physicist and entrepreneur in technological innovation products, focused on commercialization to democratize access to science.
