Technology Transfer and Licensing
Helping you to access innovative new technologies.
Our world class research has created a wide range of intellectual property
We want our discoveries to make a positive difference to our world. We recognise that sometimes other organisations are best placed to take our technology forward.
This is where you can license our intellectual property (IP).
Our Business Development Managers are experienced, discrete professionals. They can work with you to explore and understand our IP. Together we can develop agreements for the IP to be used.
By working together and licensing our technologies to you, we can make a difference to lives, organisations and products around the world.
From seaweed to laundry detergent
We worked with global consumer products giant P&G to harness the power of nature to innovate a laundry product.
The market for laundry detergents, fabric conditioners and fabric care is huge. More consumers want excellent cleaning results from washing at lower temperatures.
Our marine biology researchers discovered an enzyme that is used by bacteria to unstick themselves from seaweed. We worked with P&G to show that the enzyme could be used to develop laundry detergents that work efficiently at low temperatures. Today, the enzyme is used across the Ariel product range.
