KTH IRL METHODOLOGY

“BioPhoT will use the following tools to evaluate research and innovation projects at entry, mid-term and final stages KTH Innovation Readiness Level a methodology developed by the KTH Royal Institute of Technology. 

The KTH IRL is a useful tool for research teams and Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs) beyond BioPhoT to assess the maturity of projects with commercial potential and to plan the work/tasks to be carried out to move a specific idea/technology towards commercialisation. 

KTH Innovation Readiness Level Methodology. 

  • helps to assess the readiness of an innovation at different stages of its development 
  • covers all critical aspects: technology, market, business model, team, intellectual property and funding readiness 
  • provides a structured approach to the effective development and commercialisation of innovations 
  • helps identify critical points and priorities for the next steps in development 

The KTH IRL framework is based on six key dimensions of innovation development, each with a scale of 1-9 levels of readiness, with clear requirements and targets to be met at each level: 

  • Customer Readiness Level (CRL) - confirm customer needs and interest 
  • Technology Readiness Level (TRL) - develop and test a technology, product or service 
  • Business Model Readiness Level (BRL) - to ensure the sustainability of the business model (financially, socially, environmentally) 
  • IPR Readiness Level (IPRL) - clearly define and protect intellectual property rights 
  • Team Readiness Level (TMRL) - assemble and develop a competent and coherent team 
  • Funding Readiness Level (FRL) - to provide the necessary funding to turn an idea into a marketable product
