about Flintbox
Flintbox is an intellectual property matchmaking system that redefines how industry and research connect, interact, and exchange IP. By combining direct access to innovation with a network of members and users from over one hundred countries around the world, Flintbox provides a superior platform for both research and industry to connect and build relationships.

Where IP Connects

* Interconnectivity: Flintbox allows direct interaction between industry, researchers, and technology transfer professionals on a common platform in order to transact technology, build relationships and initiate collaboration to discover the best applications for intellectual property and other research artifacts.
* Access to Innovation: Through a single account, Flintbox provides end users access to information from the entire network at www.flintbox.com while also allowing member organizations and channel partners the ability to customize their sites and decide what information requires licensing and fees or can be distributed freely.

Founded in 2003, Flintbox was developed at and continues to be managed by UBC Research Enterprises (UBC-RE), a wholly owned subsidiary of the University of British Columbia, located in Vancouver, Canada.
