Tools to Support Your Journey from Lab to Market

As a CORE12.01 Innovation Fellow, you won’t navigate commercialization alone. Our custom-built tools will guide your strategy, measure your progress, and connect you with the right people. These tools adjust to fit your unique research context and help you grow with confidence.

Responsive Innovation Monitoring Tool (RIM)

The RIM helps you track, adjust, and communicate your commercialization progress. It’s a strategic dashboard that supports you in identifying your current stage, setting KPIs across four key domains (business, regulatory, social, and technology), and revisiting them as your project evolves.

With RIM, you’ll:

  • Align your goals with your commercialization path
  • Set actionable and achievable KPIs
  • Spot risks and gaps early
  • Build a data-backed story to communicate with funders, partners, and stakeholders

Responsive Ecosystem Toolbox (RET)

The RET is your ecosystem mapping companion. It helps you identify and connect with the most relevant actors in your innovation journey — from corporates and investors to policymakers and civil society.

With RET, you can:

  • Discover who matters in your target market and field
  • Strategically plan outreach and partnerships
  • Build multi-stakeholder support for your solution

RET is especially valuable for researchers unfamiliar with commercialization environments — it simplifies the complexity of the innovation ecosystem into actionable relationships.
