Knowledge Transfer and Commercialisation Office
TUS’s Knowledge Transfer and Commercialisation Office leads work to support knowledge transfer and to identify and commercialise IP arising from research at TUS.
We work with TUS researchers with novel ideas that have the potential to be turned into new products and services that benefit the world at large.
We work with companies and organisations that have innovation needs or challenges that TUS’s research community can help with.
We support TUS spin outs based on TUS research.
If you are a TUS researcher with a great idea that may have commercial potential or a company looking to collaborate with TUS or an entrepreneur with an innovative business idea, please contact us.
We look forward to hearing from you.
