Latest news
The Saljar Group works with innovators.
We help innovators manage, value, protect and commercialise innovation outcomes, and manage the
commercial/legal risks that all innovators face. We prefer to do this on a no-cost/success-share basis if feasible.
We invest in and incubate innovation outcomes, and work with others who do the same.
We provide commercial and legal services to eligible clients (we only work with innovators and high-tech
organisations, and prefer those whose innovation benefits the community).
Our clients range from start-ups through to large research organisations. Our services are top-tier firm quality but,
due to the efficiency of our practices and business model, are significantly less expensive.
Are you a startup? Our value proposition for startups is simple. See it here.

Valuation, Protection and Commercialisation of Innovation Outcomes
We take care of the commercialisation process so you can focus on what you're best at - innovation and your core business. The scrolling list below shows some of the many issues we will help you manage.
We reduce - and can share - your risks: Although we help directly with many of the key steps, the key to our business model is that we manage, on your behalf, a network of service providers who work as a coordinated team throughout the commercialisation process.
Our premium quality services and our unique approach allow us - and possibly others in our network of professional partners - to make some or all (if your innovation is promising enough) of our fees conditional on your success. This 'centralised coordination and shared risk' model decreases your costs and increases your prospects of success.
Some context - the problem: The challenge for innovators is to access and coordinate the skills needed to manage the entire commercialisation process. Most innovators run out of cash and energy before their innovation derives any returns. Often, had the commercialisation process been better managed, they may have succeeded.
