About Organisation

As SU TTO we are proud to be pioneers of introducing IAM concept in higher education context. While intellectual property is a form whereby assets are protected, intellectual asset points out to a larger portfolio of values whether secured under legal forms of protection or not. Before we build an IP portfolio we must define a new knowledge and technology base which will be the origin for research collaborations leading to economic and social value.
