About AUIC

Where curiosity becomes impact.

AUIC is Ajman University's engine for intellectual property, technology transfer, and commercialization — turning faculty and student research into protected technology that reaches the market.

We focus on research where demand already exists: regulatory pressure, corporate need, and fast-growing patent activity worldwide.

Patentability assessed, filings handled centrally, portfolios managed — so discoveries stay ownable.

Companies bring us the problem, and we match it to AU research, so what we develop already has a buyer.

Research from across the university enters the same commercialization process, with the scale of AU's faculty and students behind it.
