The Business Development Team

The Business Development Team helps our partners engage in relevant, valuable work informed by world-class researchers. In addition, the team can identify PhD and Masters-level students with the appropriate interests and talent to assist in innovation and growth projects.

We can help streamline collaborations by:

  • Defining value-added research projects
  • Negotiating intellectual property rights
  • Facilitating technology licensing and acquisition
  • Managing confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements
  • Coordinating studentships, internships and degree projects
  • Hosting industry events and workshops to build relationships
  • Accepting philanthropy in conjunction with Development and Alumni
