Swansea University - Technology Transfer


Technology transfer

The process of developing practical commercial applications for university research – or ‘technology transfer’ - is playing an increasingly important role in economic development.

As a major centre of pioneering research, Swansea University has become a vital hub for this transferring of knowledge into the commercial sphere.

The University is a key player in the Technium initiative, enabling knowledge-based businesses to grow rapidly with the support of academic and technical expertise.

Knowledge Transfer Partnerships take University expertise directly into companies, while the University has also forged vibrant partnerships and networks involving collaborators in the public and private sectors.
