On Wednesday, September 25th, Chief Licensing Advisor Katharine Ku and Technology Transactions partner Barath Chari will speak on the panel, Licensing Deep Tech is Not Like Licensing Biotech, at the AUTM Western Regional meeting.

In this session, panelists will discuss how achieving our climate objectives demands the widespread adoption of innovative technologies, many of which originate from our esteemed universities. Licensing cutting-edge Deep Tech solutions, particularly in the energy and climate sectors, necessitates a unique strategy compared to licensing in biotech, owing to distinct economic incentives. Start-ups pioneering deep-tech fields like clean energy generation, low carbon cement, and energy storage face both high technical risk and high market risk, competing against entrenched incumbents in commodity markets who are not currently paying their environmental costs. How can your office support these Deep Tech ventures, fostering their success while helping to save the planet?
