Invention does not become an innovation until it is commercialized, and this remains one of the biggest challenges for inventors. For too long, research has remained confined to book shelves, and universities need to collaborate with the industry and society to ensure the twin purpose of serving humanity and adding economic value. These were the key remarks of AIT President Prof. Worsak Kanok-Nukulchai while delivering the welcome address on the concluding day of the two-day “Collaboration for Innovation” event organized by AIT Solutions organized on 12-13 May 2016.
