Nowadays there is pressure for commercialization of research from founding agencies, but the process of commercialization of research needs time and support to be successful because there are several stages and limits which should be crossed to achieve a market product. Some of them are related to technical issues but some are related to business problems. One possible path of commercialization is creating new start-up companies. During this presentation, problems of research commercialization will be listed and discussed. Some case studies related to SHM technology will be presented. Particularly, the talk will focus on active thermography and applications, predictive maintenance based on AI algorithms and its application, on sensors design and application, and some UAV-based solutions.
