Licensing and Technology Transfer Opportunities

Have you ever considered taking advantage of technology research that has already been done? In many cases, these technologies are patented and ready for commercialization.

To do so, you will have to pay for licensing rights or agreements. However, it can save you the expenses of conducting your own research and the ongoing costs of maintaining development activities or facilities.

Organisations from private sector, governments, and even academic institutions have resources and networks that can help you find the available technologies.
