WORLDiscoveries® is Western University’s Tech Transfer Office. We pride ourselves in being the Business Development office for London’s extensive research network and bridging local invention and global industry.
Born out of a partnership between Western University, Robarts Research Institute and Lawson Health Research Institute, WORLDiscoveries® draws upon a mix of industry connections, sector-specific market knowledge and business development expertise to help researchers and local inventors commercialize their discoveries through licensing and new company spin-offs.
In delivering this value proposition, WORLDiscoveries® will be a material contributor to the sustained financial health and vitality of London’s Research Row and the community.
More importantly, WORLDiscoveries® seeks to:
• Remain one of the top business development offices in Canada
• Substantially increase the number of spin-off companies in the region
• Provide services beyond patents and licensing by creating programs that engage and educate others on the world of tech transfer and innovation
WORLDiscoveries® represents a new and exciting means of bringing local knowledge and invention to the global market and the global market to our local economy.
