LSE Director John Ashworth contacted Keith Mackrell to discuss whether LSE's research findings could be commercialised. Keith says: 'At that time a number of science and engineering based universities were setting up Enterprise companies to develop and commercialise their research findings.

So the more on-going dialogue we have across LSE – uncovering things new, perhaps even suggesting something – the more benefit and impact we can share.
