The Technology Transfer and Innovation Support (TTIS) Office is hosting a webinar for researchers and postgraduates. This session will focus on the critical intersection of deep tech and intellectual property (IP) protection, providing valuable insights into how participants can safeguard their innovations in software, hardware systems, algorithms, data, and other digital assets.

In today’s rapidly evolving technology landscape, protecting intellectual property is essential, not only to secure competitive advantage but also to enable successful commercialisation and collaboration.
