The decision to pursue the commercialisation of early stage technology is complex because of the high level of uncertainty surrounding the factors which inform the decision. It is for this reason that those who take on these risks - entrepreneurs, investors, corporations - so often get it wrong. Even professional VCs who should be highly experienced in this decision making process, only get it right 20% of the time.

At this one day conference leading experts will review state of the art approaches to evaluating technology risk factors:

• How VCs assess investment opportunities
• Competitive intelligence and market factors
• Project risk: assessment and measurement
• Patent due diligence: freedom to operate and IP protection
• Valuation of technology: risk adjusted NPV and decsion trees
• Decision making under uncertainty: why decisions are biased
