It is open to researchers who are considering commercialisation through any business model, and provides seven days of in-person training, delivered by experienced trainers and entrepreneurs.  The programme outlines the key stages from having an idea to commercial readiness, and introduces areas like intellectual property, commercial strategy, selling skills, pricing, and culminates with business planning, and investment readiness.

Arts and science disciplines are equally welcome, and delegates can be at any stage of their journey, from early consideration with no clear business offering to working on a specific and viable business idea.
