What are Innovation Vouchers?

‘Steve and his team have been there, done it, got the t-shirt. It’s difficult to put a price on knowledge and experience like that. The successful commercialisation of IP, regardless of industry, requires a multi-disciplined approach. I’m really looking forward to putting into practice these principles and methodologies within inQubator,’
