ITI team

The team behind research commercialisation.

You shouldn't have to explain your science to a generalist. Every domain has its own officer, who protects the IP, finds the licence, and stays with it start to finish.

About ITI

Putting innovation to work in the real world.

We protect what is developed in NUS labs, license it to industry, and back the researchers interested in commercialising their work. Patents, spin-offs, and partnerships all run through our team. That is how the university's research actually reaches the world. Every licence signed and company spun out turns lab work into something with a market, and a concrete way to impact the world.

FAQ

Common questions

  1. [1] Which officer should I contact for my field?

    Each NUS tech transfer officer covers a specific domain, such as life sciences, materials, or software, so you reach someone who already knows your area.

  2. [2] What does a TTO actually help with?

    A tech transfer officer (TTO) is the link between NUS research and the companies that can use it. For researchers, they protect your invention, manage the patent, and find it a licensee or help you spin out. For companies, they're who you go to to license that technology or build on it. Either way, the officer covers a specific domain, so both sides are dealing with someone who knows the science.

  3. [3] I'm an industry partner, who do I talk to?

    A tech transfer officer (TTO) is the link between NUS research and the companies that can use it. For researchers, they protect your invention, manage the patent, and find it a licensee or help you spin out. For companies, they're who you go to to license that technology or build on it. Either way, the officer covers a specific domain, so both sides are dealing with someone who knows the science.
