Climate Dimensions helps research teams and funded consortia identify commercially relevant applications, build industrial collaborations and structure projects that move climate technologies closer to market.
Our support combines market and commercialisation work with partner development, consortium coordination, IP strategy and project management.
You need to identify which use cases have the strongest industrial relevance and development potential.
You are preparing a grant application, validation activity, contract-research project or co-financed development collaboration.
The project requires credible exploitation activities, market engagement and a route beyond the funded research period.
You need to determine what should be protected, how it may create value and when specialist patent or legal support is required.
You need to assess readiness, clarify the business model and define the team, funding and development milestones.
The project requires clear roles, work packages, milestones and decision-making across multiple organisations.
We help determine where the research can solve a meaningful industrial problem and which applications deserve further development.
Key activities
Key outputs
We support research and development projects that require active coordination between scientific, industrial, funding and commercialisation partners.
Key activities
Key outputs
We help research teams identify industrial partners and structure collaborations that create value for both the scientific and corporate participants.

Key outputs
We advise on the commercial and tactical use of intellectual property, helping teams align protection decisions with the intended collaboration and route to market. Formal patent filing and legal IP-protection activities are completed with qualified patent attorneys and legal specialists.

Where a spin-off is the most credible commercialisation route, we help the research team define the business opportunity, development plan and organisational capabilities needed to proceed.
Key activities
Key outputs
| Route | When it fits | Typical structure | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grant-funded development | Technology needs further validation before industrial adoption. | National or European funding programme, sometimes with industrial partners. | Higher technology-readiness and stronger evidence base. |
| Industry collaboration | Industrial demand and scientific capability align on a defined problem. | Joint project or pilot with one or more industrial partners. | Applied result validated in an industrial context. |
| Contract research | An industrial partner needs a defined technical result quickly. | Focused technical work delivered under a fixed scope and budget. | Direct commercial value and a working industrial relationship. |
| Licensing | Technology is protectable and a credible licensee exists. | Transfer of protected technology under a licensing agreement. | Revenue and industrial deployment without operating the technology in-house. |
| Spin-off | Team, technology and market case justify forming a new company. | New company with founders, business model and investment plan. | Independent commercial vehicle built around the technology. |
