Startup "Foundation for Promotion of Commercialization of Research (FPCR)" inaugurated by Shri Vinod Kalani, President, Federation of Pharma Entrepreneurs (FOPE ) & Rajasthan Pharmaceutical Manufacturer's Association (RPMA) at BITSAA GLOBAL MEET 2023 held at Birla Auditorium, Jaipur

Industry Academia Interface is now a very important and much needed concept.

In most cases, a research remains confined in book shelves and libraries, with no or little commercial output. Researchers are not globally / fully aware where their research could be of use or where their research could be used effectively; who may be in need of their research outcome; where their research outcome can get commercial value to them. On the other hand, industry is not aware about the research that is being done globally and which it is in need of; industry is willing to engage researchers to cater to their needs but is not aware about the availability of such researchers in the World. Both, the researches and the industry do not have adequate access to each other’s needs. Hence there is a dire need to move research 'from the shelf' to 'the one who needs that research' and also to promote research that is need-based / tailored / guided.

There is a need to showcase research by research providers (academia) to research seekers (industry) who can commercialize it, thus, creating a win-win situation for both.

Foundation for Promotion of Commercialization of Research (FPCR) has been conceptualized to bring together Research Providers (Individual / Group / R&D Organization) and Research Seekers (Industries/ Organization willing to engage a Research Provider) on a common platform to match their needs and to accomplish commercialization of all types of the research already done / being done, globally. Research sectors include a total of 31 types of research areas including Engineering and Technology, IT and Computer, Medical Science, Pharmaceutical Science, Science, Veterinary and Animal Sciences. The endeavor is not only to add value to the research but also help humanity by making the research available to mankind with generation of wealth.

It is a specially designed unique, comprehensive, global web portal incorporating in-depth working of the research aspects that are not available to the one who actually needs them. Research Providers are required to register themselves with their Research brief (along with key words) and Research Seekers are required to register themselves with their Research needs (along with key words) at the FPCR. FPCR automatically matches to initiate communication between Researcher and Industry.
