How does NTU select a company to be a licensee?

We do not select companies for licensing. Instead, companies interested in our technologies must evaluate them independently to determine if they address their specific business or technological challenges.

What if more than one company is interested in obtaining a license?

In cases where multiple companies are interested in the same technology, we typically offer non-exclusive licenses to all interested parties.

Do you allow licensees to test the technology before entering a license agreement?

Yes, companies can sign a time-limited evaluation agreement, which can be exclusive or non-exclusive, to test the technology before committing to a full licensing agreement.

What types of technologies are available for licensing?

We recommend that companies assess their business needs and problem statements before exploring our technology offerings.
