Frontier IP becomes partner in prestigious University of Lisbon technology
transfer competition ScienceIN2Business

 

Frontier IP, a specialist in commercialising university intellectual property,
today announces its involvement with the University of Lisbon (the
"University") ScienceIN2Business programme, powered by Faculdade de Ciências
- Tec labs, to identify promising science and technologies being developed by
its academics and students.

 

ScienceIN2Business invites academics to put forward projects with commercial
potential, from which a final five are chosen to be taken further. The Group
will provide mentoring support and expert advice to the projects entered and
will be involved in selecting the shortlist.

 

The University of Lisbon is Portugal's top-rated university in both the
Shanghai and CWTS Leiden rankings. Frontier IP's involvement with
ScienceIN2Business reflects the Group's growing reputation within Portugal,
where it currently has three spin outs from NOVA University Lisbon, NOVA
School of Science and Technology, and the Institute for Systems and Computer
Engineering, Technology and Science.

 

The Group is also a partner with the UK government's Department for
International Trade in Portugal.

 

ScienceIN2Business Coordinator, Jorge Maia Alves, said: "We strongly believe
that having Frontier IP onboard our technology transfer programme will clearly
represent an extra value to the teams that will be involved in the ongoing
Call for Projects."

 

Frontier IP Chief Executive Officer, Neil Crabb, said: "We are very pleased
to become a partner with one of Portugal's leading universities, the
University of Lisbon, in its prestigious ScienceIN2Business technology
transfer programme. It's a further sign of our growing reputation in the
country."
