Officially opening this month, the Applied Research Gallery and the Patent Database offers the business community one-stop access to CityU's latest technologies and know-how. The Applied Research Gallery, initiated by the Technology Transfer Office (TTO), features an array of applied research work. This is another way TTO aims to promote technology transfer to industrial and business communities and seek collaboration opportunities.

The Gallery lists the technical specifications, development stage, and patent information of the CityU technology available in eight categories: electronics, biotechnology and health, telecommunications, new materials/surface technology, industrial technologies, building and construction, information technology, and environment. In addition to the Patent Database, the Gallery also links to the Directory of Professional Expertise, for external parties who are interested in the capability and consulting experience of CityU staff.
