SPIN: Rise is open to researchers at any career stage who are interested in exploring the commercial potential of their work.

SPIN: Rise programmes are structured around expert-led training, 1:1 mentoring, and peer learning - culminating in an in-person bootcamp where participants apply their skills, connect with stakeholders, and refine their plans for next steps.
By participating in SPIN: Rise, participants learn:
- How to identify and develop the commercial potential of their research, including IP valorisation, licensing opportunities, and industry engagement strategies.
- How to design viable business models and communicate their innovation to investors and prospective partners.
- How to navigate the early steps of research commercialisation, from understanding funding pathways to preparing for market entry.
