We aim to return the "knowledge" that is the property of the university to society.
The Teikyo Teikyo Technology Transfer Center supports faculty and staff at the university in creating intellectual property and utilizing it effectively in industry and the local community.
Bridging the gap between medical needs and industrial/technological seeds: Medical-Engineering Collaboration Support Project
Teikyo Technology Transfer Center is working with Itabashi Ward on medical-engineering collaboration. As part of this initiative, we will be exhibiting jointly with the Itabashi Ward Industrial Promotion Corporation at "Medtec Japan," an event featuring companies and research institutions involved in the design and manufacture of medical devices, to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from April 21st (Tue) to 23rd (Thu), 2026. At the venue, we will introduce ventures originating from Teikyo University, and as part of the university's research seeds, Professor Koichi Suzuki of the Department of Department of Clinical Laboratory Science, Faculty of Medical Technology will exhibit and introduce the "CRADAR-i disposable rapid nucleic acid diagnostic kit," which enables rapid and simple infection detection, and Professor Hiroki Otani of the Department of Department of Radiological Technology, will exhibit and introduce the "radiation protection cream," which is tailored to different radiation environment levels for nuclear power plant workers, medical institutions, and the general public, with the aim of social implementation.
Initiatives to support the creation of university-born startups
As part of our efforts to support the commercialization of research results and ideas from faculty, staff, and students, we will be exhibiting at "SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026," Asia's largest global innovation conference, to be held at Tokyo Big Sight from April 27th (Mon) to 29th (Wed/Holiday), 2026. At the venue, together with MEDVERSE Co., Ltd., a venture company spun off from Teikyo University, and Teikyo Knowledge Initiative Co., Ltd., a venture capital firm, we will introduce Teikyo University's startup creation support initiatives and the products and services developed by Teikyo University-spun-off venture companies.
Teikyo Innovation Gate
We have established an incubation facility called "Teikyo Innovation Gate" to provide various support to undergraduate and graduate students, Graduate School, staff, and alumni who are aiming to start or are already running businesses. By registering as a user, you can make use of the event room that can be used for seminars and various events, as well as the coworking room equipped with telework booths.
This center is engaged in activities to return the "knowledge" of Teikyo University (created from intellectual activities within the university, including intellectual property such as patents) to society.
Chairman and President Yoshihito Okinaga
One of the major roles expected of universities in modern times is to return the "knowledge" that is the university's asset to society. In order to fulfill this social responsibility, our university aims to properly manage the various intellectual property cultivated through research on campus at the Teikyo Technology Transfer Center and to return and utilize this property to society. Our university's Educational Guidelines are "Practical learning," "International perspectives," and "Open mindedness" and utilizing the university's intellectual property widely in society will make these Educational Guidelines concrete. In the process of utilizing the university's intellectual property in a wide range of fields, we hope to foster know-how and a culture regarding intellectual property within the university, and develop these into distinctive social contribution activities.
Professor Hodaka Nakanishi, Head of Center
Teikyo Technology Transfer Center is working to connect the "knowledge" of Teikyo University with society. Taking advantage of the characteristics of being a comprehensive university, the center is engaged in various forms of collaboration in a wide range of fields, including Industry-Academia-Government Collaboration, collaboration with financial institutions, and collaboration with local communities and residents. Specifically, its activities are diverse, including support for the creation of intellectual property, licensing activities to ensure the effective use of the intellectual property created, support for joint research and contract research between the university and industry, medical-engineering collaboration that connects the university's medical needs with industry, and support for the creation of university-based ventures. Because industry-academia collaboration activities involve many stakeholders and cover a wide range of activities, we often hear people say they don't know where to turn within the university for advice. Teikyo Technology Transfer Center, which serves as the university's portal site for industry-academia collaboration, promotes these activities while fostering organic collaboration with organizations both inside and outside the university. Please feel free to contact us for any inquiries.
