Welcome to the UILO

UBC's University-Industry Liaison Office (UILO) facilitates industry engagement with researchers at The University of British Columbia and its Affiliated Teaching Hospitals.

This engagement takes many forms, including research partnerships investigating areas of mutual interest, and the licensing of discoveries and inventions made by UBC researchers.

Through this exchange of knowledge, the outstanding work of UBC researchers generates academic, societal, environmental, economic and financial impacts for local, national and global communities.
