About NAU Innovations

NAU Innovations is the name of NAU’s technology development and commercialization program. The NAUI team catalyzes, drives, and manages tech transfer. We are involved in the technology transfer process from beginning to end, working with NAU researchers to identify and develop discoveries that have commercial potential and with licensees who manufacture or sell licensed intellectual property.

If you’re ready to get started, take a look at our technologies currently available for licensing or contact NAU Innovations to discuss your organization’s technology needs.

Innovation in every direction

Whether it’s exploring deep space or cyberspace, the human microbiome or the global ecosystem, NAU generates technologies to meet the needs of the 21st century.

Responsiveness

Everything we do is a means to an end—the commercialization of technologies. NAU Innovations is committed to rapid negotiations that shorten the time to market.

Flexibility

Every business is different, and so is every deal.  We work with companies to develop commercially reasonable licensing terms that consider your unique business goals.

Collaboration

We seek to form and maintain collaborative relationships with established companies, entrepreneurs, and start-ups that last well beyond the negotiation of the license.

Know-how

NAU researchers are eager to work with industry partners to provide the critical expertise you need to quickly bring innovations to market.

Success

We transform research into commercial products that have a positive impact on our world.
