Technology Market Organisation Our Assessment Competitors ManufacturersGamma & Neutron portal detectors Handheld gamma detectors Handheld neutron detectors Handheld gamma and neutron detectors CanberraYes Unknown RAE SystemNoYes BerkeleyNucNoYes SAICYes
Organisation Technology is ready to be licensed out Exclusivity possible if necessary for commercial success Two potential licensees: – A startup company – Establish dosimeter manufacturer Technology Market Organisation Our Assessment
Business model for a start up Key aspects – Collaboration between CERN and the new company – Outsourcing of manufacturing. Core focus on marketing and sale – The company should in the long run be able to do their own R&D CERN Sale & Marketing Production & Assembly R & D Customers End-Users Technology Market Organisation Our Assessment
Not able to pinpoint a segment were need is absolute More cost-effective solutions today Still need for more market analyze within some segments More reasonable for CERN to license out to an established actor Technology Market Organisation Our Assessment
Thank you.
