Innovation and Value Creation

The Innovation and Value Creation office at NOVA Medical School (InnoValue) catalyzes innovation across the strategic pillars of the School — Education, Research, and Community -  with the mission of transforming scientific and technological knowledge into real-world impact and creating social and economic value in health.

 

Our aims:

  • Provide guidance and support throughout the entire innovation journey - from the initial idea to applied solutions that address real needs in the field of health - by identifying, protecting, and valorizing intellectual assets.
  • Develop and manage portfolios of intellectual property (IP) rights, including patents, designs, utility models, and trademarks.
  • Tailored support in preparing applications to innovation funding and awards that advance the development and maturation of health-related technologies.
  • Draft, review, and negotiate R&D, IP, and contract research (services) agreements to ensure the efficient and responsible management and exploitation of intellectual assets.
  • Act as an interface between the School’s ecosystem and the market, fostering strategic partnerships with industry and innovation stakeholders.
  • Stimulate collaborative innovation with companies and start-ups.
  • Oversee contractual and financial management of industry collaborations.
  • Provide support on licensing deals and spin-off creation based on School’s intellectual assets.

 

By integrating strategic innovation, intellectual property management, and business development, InnoValue transforms knowledge and science into value for health and society.
