We help organizations monetize their technology assets
For public or private organizations, the Armed Forces or companies with their own technology developments that want to add value to them or take them to new markets, we turn their intangible developments into commercially valuable assets. We help them get a return on their investments in science and technology, acting as an external technology management capability or strengthening their in-house skills to transfer their assets.
Challenges we address
-
Underused in-house assets
Technologies developed for a specific purpose that are shelved without exploring their commercial or dual-use potential in other sectors.
-
No specialized team
No permanent in-house structure to carry out financial valuation, freedom-to-operate (FTO) studies or license negotiations.
-
Commercialization uncertainty
Lack of knowledge of the legal, tax and, above all, intellectual property routes to transfer technology to the private sector or abroad.
What we offer
-
Intellectual property strategy and valuation of intangibles
Patentability assessment, freedom to operate (FTO), technical and legal due diligence and financial valuation of in-house technologies.
-
Licensing models and dual-use transfer
Structuring commercial agreements to transfer or license in-house developments to civilian, industrial or international markets.
-
External technology management (transfer outsourcing)

Testimonials

This collaboration is crucial because defense has technology needs that can benefit from civilian knowledge. The goal is to consolidate a space where science, defense, industry and government come together to activate dual-use innovation in Chile.
