Commercialisation

In 2011, the author of this thesis was awarded with a £3,000 enterprise grant to commercialise the ChemDecide software for use in other industries. The grant was awarded by the EPSRC and Newcastle University’s Medical School. The plan is to rebrand the tools as generic decision-making solutions and licence them to companies in industries that deal with finance, consultancy and engineering.
