Technology Commercialisation (TC) is a key unit under the Innovation & Ventures (IV) Division of Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, mandated to drive the translation of research and innovation into tangible industry and societal impact. TC serves as the bridge between academia and industry, enabling the translation of research outputs into market-ready solutions.

Within TC, two core pillars support this mission: Technology Transfer and Intellectual Property Management (TTIPM) and Technop​reneurship.

TTIPM focuses on the protection, evaluation, and commercialisation of intellectual property, supporting researchers in managing their innovations through structured IP strategies, technology development, and industry engagement. It acts as a central hub for technology exploration, licensing, and collaboration, connecting research outputs with relevant partners and market opportunities.

Complementing this, Technopreneurship drives the development of innovation-driven ventures by nurturing startups, supporting spin-offs, and cultivating entrepreneurial talent within the university ecosystem. Together, these functions ensure a holistic pathway from idea generation to commercial success and positioning UTP as a key contributor to innovation and industry advancement.​

WHAT WE DO

HOW WE DO

In general, we are flexible in developing a practical go-to-market strategy for each invention. The approach is tailored based on the nature of the technology, market readiness, and the inventor’s goals.

At present, there are two (2) main pathways to monetise our intellectual property and technologies:

  1. Existing businesses

    Commercialisation through our corporate partners or via direct exploitation by the university or inventors, where appropriate.

  2. Start-ups

    Commercialisation through the ​Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS Innovation Accelerator (UToPIA) Programme, which supports the creation and growth of start-ups based on university-developed technologies.




Based on these approaches, we offer a wide range of home-grown technologies that you can license, further develop, or commercialise with industry partners or through start-ups.
