Why the Long Tail of University Innovation Matters
83% of university inventions never reach the market, yet the 17% that do generate roughly $591bn in annual economic impact. Why the long tail is the largest single pool of untapped innovation potential in the world.
Translation as Infrastructure
The bottleneck in university commercialisation is not the science, it is the absence of repeatable infrastructure. A new model for moving research from lab to market at scale.
Investment & CapitalFrom IP to Investable
Information asymmetry keeps investors away from early stage university IP. The QED pathway closes that gap through standardised validation and structuring that capital can actually underwrite.
IP Commercialisation IndexIP Commercialisation Index: Methodology Note
The full methodology behind the University Impact Index: how the six scoring dimensions are constructed, the data sources, the normalisation approach, the friction model, and the data limitations across 346 institutions in 13 countries.
Policy & InnovationA Policy-Led Framework for University Technology Transfer
PIPE's policy-facing framework for improving technology transfer and knowledge exchange, addressing the European Paradox through standardised evaluation, regional anchoring, and early liquidity.
Research & EvidenceThe Disclosure Gap: Invention Dark Matter in University IP
Fewer than half of commercially patentable university inventions are ever disclosed to a TTO. We examine the evidence, the structural causes, and what it means for how we measure commercialisation.
