Acquisition of Intellectual Property (IP)

Through our IP acquisition program, SolCon Capital provides an opportunity for young researchers to monetize their ideas and inventions while retaining ownership and control. We offer a fair and transparent process that respects the rights of the creators while ensuring that their research is brought to market in a timely and effective manner. Our team of experts works closely with universities to identify and evaluate potential IP opportunities, providing funding and support for patent registration, market research, and product development.

At SolCon Capital, we believe that investing in the IP of young researchers is a win-win scenario. Not only do we provide financial returns for the creators, but we also gain access to groundbreaking technologies that can transform industries and benefit society as a whole.
