The Office of Knowledge Exchange and Enterprise (KEE) is the technology transfer unit of the University of Newcastle. We work within four key areas; health, energy, minerals and science. We achieve this by linking the University's consulting and contract research to industry and securing investment to commercialise innovative technology developed within the institution. We provide an efficient and effective commercial interface that focuses on: • Identification, protection and commercialisation of novel technologies developed by the University's researchers • Delivery of specialist consultancy and contracted research services to industry and government • Access to the expert knowledge base that exists within the University of Newcastle • Promotion of the University of Newcastle's world-class scientific research and commercialisation activities to potential research sponsors and collaborators, licensees or investors The professional management of these activities ensures that the economic value is fully identified, captured and distributed to the various stakeholders.
