If you are a principal investigator at one of our Member institutions with a promising idea in health sciences that brings impact in the medical device, therapeutic or digital/AI sectors, TIAP can help you advance your invention. We collaborate closely with researchers at the earliest stage to plan to secure intellectual property protection, develop the market opportunity, and chart a course for development.
TIAP offers five development pillars that focus on different aspects and stages of innovation advancement. This ensures that appropriate focus and funding is allocated to each project. A project in our portfolio has access to the expertise needed to advance to a more market-ready stage — whether that is intellectual property protection, progress through pre-clinical and clinical development, or all the way through to company formation.
TIAP often provides the first capital at project start, and accesses external funding (domestic and international) through its established network of VCs and industry partners.
