Technology licensing in a digital world: Fit for purpose + enabling new innovative business models
The licensing world is changing – ALPS makes it happen
Current technology licensing isn’t fit for purpose. It is slow, inefficient and relies too heavily on human inspections and audits. As the world moves to a digital industry 4.0 technology licensing needs to change, ALPS makes this happen, and opens the door to future licensing scenarios more suited to a connected world.
ALPS is a digital solution for technology licensing of connected devices. Operating as a decentralised platform, ALPS improves accuracy, increases efficiency and reduces costs of managing technology licenses by doing away with the manual aspects, most notably manual audits. Further, ALPS has the ability to provide real-time usage data for licensors allowing for sophisticated pay-as-you-use licenses, and enabling feature-on-demand.
ALPS has been incubating in the University of Cambridge over the last few years. Following various grants and competition funding we have developed ALPS to the point where we have a working system ready to move into commercial environment (MVP).
We have secured the IP from the University and have established ALPS Software Limited as a standalone entity, with a view to seeking funding for the next stage of growth and expansion.
