Greta Faccio, PhD – Turning scientific insight into commercial impact<strong>™</strong>

A flat-style cartoon illustration shows a curly-haired woman transitioning from scientist to executive advisor. On the left, she wears a white lab coat and blue glasses, holding bubbling flasks surrounded by science icons: DNA helix, atom, apple, and molecules. In the center, a glowing lightbulb symbolizes innovation. On the right, she appears in a navy blazer, waving and holding a briefcase, surrounded by space icons (rocket, moon, satellite), food items (burger, cherry, mitochondrion), and financial symbols (money bills, calculator, upward-trending chart). The background is white, and the color palette features cool tones like blue, teal, and gray.

I’m Greta Faccio, PhD, a scientist, IP expert, and innovation advisor who helps bright ideas find their path to the market.

WHO I WORK WITH

For INVENTORS and KNOWLEDGEa and TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OFFICES assessing an invention’s commercial potential, I provide clear, evidence‑based guidance to move innovations toward the market. I translate complex technologies into strategy, competitive positioning, and actionable IP pathways.

I offer market analysis, competitor mapping, and IP‑aligned advising, helping teams understand where their invention fits and how it can succeed. I also connect clients with top consultants who can support their journey to market, and I assist in gathering anonymous professional feedback on the invention, from potential industry partners and experts.

–>I have so far advised and assisted more than 40 inventors, TTOs and scientists in assessing their inventions, patents or find potential commercial partners.

FOR KNOWLEDGE and TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OFFICES

  • Market analysis to identify potential competitors for your invention, who the main market players are, patent owners, and active R&D projects.
  • Identify what might be missing in your analysis and devise risk amelioration strategies.
  • Identify potential adopters of your new technology and commercial partners and help with the outreach.
  • Scout/identify new technologies to solve your R&D problems or innovate your product portfolio.
  • Dig into the scientific literature and find evidence to support your marketing claims.

    -> If you are a TTO/KTO, an SME, an early start-up, or an inventor looking for potential partners, you might find my services at Walking Inventions™ and at INV2ENT great!

MY NETWORK

I am supported by a focused network of specialists based in Switzerland and across Europe, bringing expertise in intellectual property strategy, marketing, business developemnt, and innovation strategy. I work with IP experts who can provide sharp guidance on protection, freedom‑to‑operate, and measures implementation. A scientific marketing specialist can ensure that scientific insights are presented at their best.

Technology transfer and go‑to‑market (G2M) strategy are essential drivers of innovation, competitiveness, and economic growth. They bridge the gap between research and industry, enabling scientific discoveries to evolve into real‑world applications. By connecting academic institutions, research organisations, and commercial partners, technology transfer accelerates the development of new products and services and strengthens the innovation ecosystem across multiple sectors. Effective technology transfer ensures that investments in science and technology generate tangible value. It supports the efficient use of research funding, promotes collaboration, and helps organisations bring breakthrough solutions to market faster. By facilitating the spread of knowledge and innovation, technology transfer enhances industrial competitiveness and creates new business opportunities.

Over the past years, I have supported international companies, start-ups, and inventors in bringing their technologies to market. My advisory work includes go‑to‑market strategy, technology and ingredient scouting, market analysis, scientific communication, product positioning, and evidence‑based claim substantiation.
