Queen's University is committed to the management and protection of intellectual property to maximize commercialization opportunities for the mutual benefit of the Queen's community, the public, and the economy.
Knowledge mobilization, research, and innovation are key contributors to the impact of innovation locally, regionally, provincially, and nationally.
Queen's focuses on the following to achieve impactful innovation:

The Queen’s innovation ecosystem is enabled (and fueled) by research talent, funding investments, and facilities partnerships and training opportunities for discovery, innovation, and knowledge mobilization. With ~1200 faculty and clinician faculty (including more than 38 Canada Research Chairs), the academy continues to solve some the world’s largest challenges. Queen’s seeks external funding and invests in research to leverage faculty and student talent towards a common goal that benefits Eastern Ontario and beyond. Our broad range of curiosity driven research centres brings together the academy from various disciplines to collaboratively generate new knowledge. The outcomes from this research environment (people & platforms) are partnerships with local, regional and national private sector entities, together with the potential for new start-ups to commercialize innovations. Queen’s creates the conditions necessary for startups to bloom and grow in Eastern Ontario.
With the approval of the Queen’s Intellectual Property Commercialization policy by the Queen’s Board of Trustees in May of 2022, Queen’s published this website to consolidate the programs, services, and resources available to support the commercialization of innovative inventions and/or discoveries.
