<p>On Monday 16 November our Intellectual Property team co-hosted an informal technology transfer and commercialisation roundtable event in conjunction with Khalifa University of Science &amp; Technology (KUSTAR), United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) and King Abdullah University of Science &amp; Technology (KAUST). The event was hosted for key universities in the GCC region active in the field of R&amp;D. The informal roundtable provided a platform for discussing and exploring how universities can assist each other in the maturation and commercialisation of inventions and how they can join forces to utilise their respective expertise and contacts in the region. Representatives from key universities from the UAE, Saudi and Qatar attended as well as experts from the industry.</p>
