By creating solutions for global challenges, the benefits for all parties can be wide-ranging and extensive.

We have a strong portfolio of technologies, inventions and discoveries to licence, as well as access to a wide network of funders, investors and entrepreneurs. Our team work closely with organisations in the private, public and not-for-profit sector to deliver our research, and the technologies and discoveries that this research produces. We have developed simple and open intellectual property policies for our staff and students to ensure our innovations have the best chance of success.
