Through collaboration with industry, you can bring your research into the world in new ways.

Establish a licensing or sales agreement


If you are a researcher at Aarhus University and have made an invention, it can be transformed into new products and services through partnerships with existing companies. This happens through a licensing or sales agreement, where the university transfers rights or ownership of your invention to a third party in return for financial compensation.

Our business developers are ready to advise you throughout the process.
