UTS Rapido Research Translation & Impact

From concept to impact: Bridging research and application

We help navigate a world-class, multidisciplinary teams of engineers, UX specialists, AI experts, software developers, and project managers. Plus we aid access to the facilities, tools and research expertise of the wider UTS innovation ecosystem. How UTS Rapido can help

Our role is to extend research with the technical and engineering expertise needed to translate concepts into usable, scalable technology. We combine advanced AI, software development, mechanical and mechatronic engineering, digital and design expertise into advanced stage research.

Develop advanced software solutions.

Engineer ready-to-manufacture hardware.

Identify the needs and behaviours of the end users to maximise success.

Identify product opportunities and align to user and business needs.

Advance early-stage research into higher-TRL proofs of concept and prototypes.

Strengthen grant proposals with high- TRL development capability.

What TRL levels do we support?

Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) are a globally recognised scale used to assess how close a technology is to being deployed in the real world. UTS Rapido supports research translation from mid to high TRL levels, helping researchers move from proof-of-concept to pilot- ready solutions.

Early stages: TRL 1–3: Research and theoretical work, often lab-based

Development stages:

TRL 4–6: Proof of concept and prototype development in simulated, or real environments Deployment stages: TRL 7–9: Demonstration, validation and full-scale implementation in operational settings

Whether you're preparing for clinical trials, market entry, or licensing, we ensure your innovation is built for use, not just theory.
