Tel Aviv University’s inventions into products
Ramot is the commercial arm of Tel Aviv University, Israel’s largest and most diversified university. Founded in 1956, Tel Aviv University is located in Israel’s cultural, financial and industrial center. Rooted in both academic and commercial arenas, Ramot is uniquely positioned to cultivate the special relationships between these two worlds, creating win-win relationships that enable fertile, groundbreaking applicative research while providing startups and established companies, local and global, with technologies that give them a crucial competitive edge.
RAMOT’S MISSION AND PRINCIPLES
Ramot’s mission is to build and foster a portfolio of sustainable assets through licensing its technologies and intellectual property to – (a) new companies established on TAU techs/IP, and (b) existing companies, aimed at generating revenue for TAU and its researchers while adding value to the local and global society.
For this matter, Ramot:
- Serves as a trusted advisor to TAU and its researchers in commercial matters that involve any TAU-generated intellectual property (both patented and non-patented) and its funding;
- Secures IP protection (via patenting and other routes) for TAU inventions, aimed at supporting their effective commercialization;
- Bridges the gap between promising early techs to the market via various activities that create/enhance IP, enable market attention and help TAU researchers in funding their translational research;
- Communicates TAU’s IP and technologies to the market; and
- Actively manages, promotes and adds value to its portfolio assets and companies, and aims to be the innovation hub of choice to its existing and new partners.
