Vision

To be a world-class Technology Transfer Organization (TTO).

Mission

To support A*STAR in transforming the economy through commercializing R&D.

Overview 

Exploit Technologies, the strategic marketing and commercialisation arm of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) Singapore, manages and consolidates all research institutes' intellectual properties under one roof as a one-stop centre for research institutes, industries and enterprises. Exploit Technologies provides access to Singapore's large pool of intellectual property and knowledge generated by over 2,000 researchers at A*STAR's research institutes.

Exploit Technologies leverages the A*STAR’s cutting edge biomedical sciences research to help both local enterprises and multinationals increase their competitive advantage in the market. It employs a series of approaches to engage the industry via licensing, research commercialisation agreements, incubating technologies and businesses, and setting up companies. It actively engages industry leaders and players to commercialise A*STAR's technologies and capabilities, bridging the gap from mind to market.

Through incubation of technologies and businesses, licensing deals and spin-offs, Exploit Technologies enhances the research output of A*STAR scientists by translating their inventions into marketable products or processes. In so doing, intellectual property becomes relevant to industry.

With the unlimited potential of A*STAR’s biomedical sciences and physical sciences research and its expertise in technology transfer, Exploit Technologies strives to shape the homegrown technologies to contribute to the local economy.
