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.
In order to become a hub for creating startups with practical and innovative technology, we will be holding a presentation judging for the "TEIKYO Startup Award," a business contest open to Graduate School and graduate students, faculty, staff, and alumni who are interested in starting their own businesses. In the presentation judging, finalists who pass the document screening will present their business ideas, which they have further refined. If you would like to attend, please refer to the flyer and apply by Tuesday, March 10, 2026.
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.
