We exist to turn discoveries into businesses.
We take the most promising breakthroughs from 17 of Toronto’s top universities and research institutes, and commercialize them.
We do this by bringing together the scientists and inventors from these member institutions with investors who are looking for high-potential opportunities, especially in the biosciences and technology.
The results are already in.
From our 17 member institutions we commercialize a world of discovery
In just over 18 months, we have identified and qualified close to 400 intellectual property disclosures from our members. This has created the foundation to pursue our broader mandate – to select and fund the most promising discoveries and advance their commercialization by creating industry partnerships, licensing arrangements and new companies. Indeed, in the past two months alone, we have signed four commercialization deals, providing funds and investors to a series of highly promising inventions. See News.
