Dr Richard A’Court

Richard is a highly experienced business development professional with a broad and deep expertise in the commercialisation of a wide range of technologies. From early work on speciality chemicals at BP Chemicals to the development of a portfolio of genetic technologies at BTG, Richard has utilised well-honed commercial skills with a strong understanding of IP issues to develop value for employers and latterly clients. He has presented at numerous international conferences and has advised a range of organisations from research councils to transnational corporations.

In 2008, Richard recorded a pb (personal best) in the Roade Triathlon – this also likely to be his personal worst as he has no intention of repeating the experience.
