Spinoffs are technology-based companies formed to commercialize inventions made at the University and protected by intellectual property rights that are owned by The American University in Cairo (AUC). The creation of a spinoff is an effective tool to commercialize an invention. Inventors may participate in these spinoffs or start-up companies in a variety of ways.
