At Japan's national university technology transfer conference, Merito worked with the offices that decide how the country's academic IP reaches the commercial world.

The challenge

Japan's best research often stays inside the university — the people who control licensing and spin-out decisions are hard to reach from outside the system.

What Merito did

We engaged directly with the technology transfer offices that gatekeep academic IP, building relationships with the teams that decide which research reaches investors and industry.

The outcome

A working relationship with the offices that control how Japan's university research becomes commercial technology.
