Technology Transfer
Sunnybrook Research Institute has considerable experience in commercializing our research knowledge to improve health care and make new technologies available. Having licensed numerous technologies to both multinational and new start-up companies, the practical impact of our research has been felt globally.
The University of Toronto handles our technology transfer through MaRS Innovation who provides flexible on-site staffing. Because every technology opportunity is unique, MaRS Innovation tailors its wide range of services to each case, including the following:
- technology assessment/evaluation
- ownership due diligence
- patenting
- marketing
- negotiation of agreements
- expertise in partnering
The extensive experience that MaRS Innovation has with the business and academic communities allows it to bridge and meet the needs of both sectors.
