About us

content

We are part of the Faculty of Science, Health and the Environment. We work to qualify, develop, protect, and commercialise novel technologies through licensing, strategic business partnerships, and forming spin-out companies.

  • We help to assess your ideas by considering their commercial potential
  • We help you protect those ideas through patents and other forms of intellectual property
  • We provide advice on developing your idea towards a proof of concept technology that businesses want to see
  • We help with funding, partnerships, and training in technology development

We are based at the Life Sciences Innovation Centre on Inverness Campus. This UHI research and pre-incubation facility is shared with businesses renting office and lab spaces from Highlands and Islands Enterprise.
