UNICOM In Conversation With
Senior Voices Shaping How Africa Commercialises Its Research
UNICOM = University CommercialisationSeason 1: First Commercialisation Principles | 12 Episodes | Coming Soon
About the series
UNICOM In Conversation With is MARATTO™'s practitioner-led series dedicated to the people who build and operate the system around university research. Grounded in the realities of implementation, not theory.
The Vice-Chancellors set the vision. But who builds the infrastructure? Who negotiates the licences, structures the spin-outs, and connects researchers to markets? UNICOM In Conversation With features the practitioners and ecosystem architects making it happen.
Each episode is a recorded virtual conversation, roughly 30 to 40 minutes. No scripts. No prep documents. Just a candid exchange about the vision, the choices, and the outcomes.
UNICOM In Conversation With is produced alongside UNICOM VC, our companion series featuring the Vice-Chancellors driving institutional change across Africa's universities.
