Research commercialisation opportunities

Two diamonds and reflections

Researchers at the University of Melbourne have developed new technologies that help to solve pressing challenges. You can license these technologies for your business, organisation or government department. We have technologies that can be used for the environment, information and communication, diagnostics, biotechnology, engineering and more. Browse the University's technologies that are available for licensing, and keep up to date with technologies that have been recently licensed.

Available for licensing
