Entrepreneurs
When entrepreneurs approach us, we discuss their interest in specific technology domain(s), their willingness and skills to commercialize and take a KFUPM technology to market by forming a Startup. We identify potential IPs in requested technology domain, provide entrepreneurs access to such IPs (if needed make an NDA). We also share any market research information we have for IPs selected by an entrepreneur.
