Well worth a look at Halima & co's research if you're interested in R&D and commercialisation infrastructure.
Today, Halima Jibril—Warwick Business School—presented her research on the UK's challenges in commercialising emerging technologies. She discussed a new framework that analyses innovation infrastructure to identify barriers to commercialisation & opportunities for policy intervention.
