commercialisation

Making something sellable

Commercialisation is the British spelling of commercialization—the process of turning something into a source of profit.

An invention undergoes commercialisation when it moves from laboratory to marketplace.

The term often carries negative connotations, suggesting that profit motives have corrupted something once pure: the commercialisation of Christmas, the commercialisation of the Olympic Games.
