Access our intellectual property

We bring together academics, innovative ideas and resources to support the commercialisation of intellectual property (IP) within the University. We do this through facilitating business opportunities such as licensing, joint ventures and 'spin-out' companies in which external partners can invest.

If you are a potential investor who would like to talk to us about a development project, or licensing the University's IP, please contact us.
