About KTO

    Assiut University Knowledge Transfer Office KTO is responsible for the transfer of innovations/technologies from the university to the industrial sector. KTO protects and manages the intellectual property developed by faculty members, students, and other researchers. KTO helps with the whole transfer process, starting from IP protection, passing by business planning, market analysis, negotiations with the interested parties in the industry, and ending by revenue sharing and deals closure. Although KTO has been established recently in 2012, Assiut University has a long history of partnership with the industry following the pull model - getting the problems from the industry and solving them at the university research and consulting centers. KTO will push towards the other direction – pushing research innovations to the industry.
