Valuation is an essential pre-requisite to the decision to progress or abandon technology, and when entering into licensing or investment transactions. It is, however, often regarded as impossibly difficult to do, despite the large number of available methodologies.

This MasterClass presents a non-mathematical approach to technology valuation, which is applicable to projects, licences, companies and investment decisons. It is at an introductory to intermediate level and no prior understanding of valuation methodology is required; familiarity with Excel spreadsheets is helpful.

	The three basic approaches to valuation: market value; cost value; future income value
	Net Present Value; discount rates; future sales forecasting
	Risk adjusted NPV; Monte Carlo simulation
	Valuation of licenses and VC investments
	Cognitive biases and their impact on valuation

Who should attend:

	Technology transfer managers
	CEOs, FDs and BDDs of technology based companies
	Licensing executives
	Investors and professional advisors to technology based companies
