Science + Innovation + Communication

Welcome! Willkommen! Benvenuti!

Greta Faccio, PhD

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‑turned‑innovation advisor who helps bright ideas find their path to the world.
I support innovators, founders, and research‑driven teams in transforming complex technologies into clear strategy, strong IP positioning, and successful market entry. My work spans IP strategy, go‑to‑market planning, technology transfer, and executive advising, helping organisations move from idea to impact with clarity and confidence.

With a background in life sciences, intellectual property, and innovation, I bridge science, business, and communication to accelerate the journey from research to real‑world adoption.

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, creates new business opportunities, and contributes to societal well‑being.

Scientific communication plays an equally strategic role. Clear, accurate, and engaging communication helps companies translate complex research into actionable insights, strengthening innovation and market positioning. By sharing scientific evidence with stakeholders, investors, and the public, organisations build trust, credibility, and transparency. Strong scientific communication also enables cross‑disciplinary collaboration, supports regulatory and funding processes, and ensures that new technologies are understood, adopted, and integrated effectively.

Over the past years, I have supported international companies, startups, and inventors in bringing their technologies to market. My work includes go‑to‑market strategy, technology and ingredient scouting, market analysis, scientific communication, claim development, and evidence‑based claim substantiation. I have coached scientists throughout their research and publication journey, helping them communicate their work with clarity and impact.

In parallel, I have served as a reviewer for multiple scientific publishers and as an evaluator for international funding agencies, including the French ANR and the European Commission, assessing research proposals and innovation projects. These experiences allow me to bring a holistic, evidence‑driven perspective to technology transfer, innovation strategy, and scientific advising.

I am very result-oriented and fast-paced. Feel free to visit my Linkedin 0profile and write me at greta.faccio@gmail.com for questions or to explore opportunities to collaborate..
