We have also identified Analytical Science, Artificial Intelligence, Behavioural Science, Cybersecurity, Design, Digital Business, Immersive Media and Internet of Things as Enabling Capabilities that will support the development of the above four Technology Clusters.

Licensing

We work closely with the industry to bring impactful technologies to the market. The commercialisation of research is usually executed by licensing know-how/patents to industry companies such as SMEs, large local enterprises (LLEs), MNCs, etc. Adopting a vibrant applied R&D culture in TP, tech offers from our Technology Clusters, i.e. Environment Sustainability, Food Sustainability, Healthcare & Nutrition, Intelligent Systems and Enabling Capabilities, are curated and made available for licensing and commercialisation.

Consultancy

Through consultancy projects, our staff from the School of Applied Science, School of Business, School of Design, School of Engineering, School of Humanities & Social Sciences, and School of Informatics & IT, make available their knowledge and expertise to external partners, including companies, public agencies and community groups.
