Technology licensing and technology transfer from Scotland’s leading Universities

Scotland’s Universities have joined forces to create the university-technology.com website to promote technology transfer and make university technologies easier to access. University-technology.com showcases the latest technology licensing opportunities available from all Scottish Universities in one convenient location.

Many innovations and technological advances have come from research carried out in Scottish Universities – these include the technology behind today’s flat panel displays to MRI scanning and advances in neonatal screening.

Technology licensing opportunities

Technology licensing opportunities from the partner universities are available across a wide range of sectors including; biotechnology & diagnostics, software communications & digital media, energy & engineering, optoelectronics and microelectronics. You can search our technology database which contains information on the full range of licensing opportunities currently available.

In addition to technology licensing opportunities, our database also contains information on opportunities for collaborative projects. These are where the University is seeking an industry partner to become involved at an earlier stage to jointly develop technologies.

Accessing the Technology Licensing Opportunities

To find the type of technology licensing opportunity you are looking for please use our licensing opportunity search facility. This allows you to search by industry sector or keyword for technology transfer opportunities relevant to your company. A simple contact form then allows you to get in touch directly with the originating University. More information on the University partners can be found here.

	"U-T.COM is the only website of its kind which I find useful and effective. Having registered my areas of interest, I receive automatic email alerts when new technologies are available - it doesn't disrupt my workflow, I can check the technologies when I'm ready as I know I have the web-link. One of the best things about the site is the fact that it is kept up-to-date; it really is a one-stop shop in the truest sense. When I recently moved position to a new company I made sure that I re-registered."
