IP Showcase

Join us for Northumbria University’s IP Showcase Event 2026!

Northumbria University has successfully transformed itself into a research-intensive modern university as proven by recognition as the Modern University of the Year 2025 by the Times and The Sunday Times. Furthermore, Northumbria recorded the biggest rise in research power of any UK university in REF 2021, moving up 27 places.

The ongoing research at Northumbria is leading to the creation of valuable IP which can be exploited for economic and societal benefit to meet global challenges. The IP Commercialisation Team is hosting their 4th annual IP Showcase to exhibit some of the incredible technologies arising from research at Northumbria.

On behalf of Northumbria University, the IP Commercialisation Team would like to invite you to our IP Showcase Event which is taking place on 11th June from 09:30am - 15:30pm on Northumbria University campus.
