Each of these programs are trans-disciplinary, with no limitations. The culmination of each of these has enabled UTS to become an active player in the Australian Start-Up Community. Over the past three years, UTS has also introduced Bachelor and Postgraduate degrees that directly target the core fundamentals of high-level critical and creative thinking, invention, complexity, innovation, future scenario building and entrepreneurship; leading-edge capabilities that are highly valued in the globalised world. A direct industry demand has contributed to the successful implementation of such a vast and diversified portfolio that allows students to combine their core degree (e.g. Business, Engineering) with an innovational based degree.

== Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==

As a component of the 2027 Vision, UTS is committed to supporting staff with research and learning with a goal of seamless, personalized and relevant education. While staff are also encouraged to engage with industry partners and through innovative research there are fewer resources for startups and entrepreneurship for faculty. Where students (undergraduate and postgraduate) own their own Intellectual Property (IP)  from research projects, IP generated by faculty members belongs to the university.

[https://www.uts.edu.au/partners-and-community/initiatives/entrepreneurship/who-we-are/entrepreneurship-and-uts-staff UTS Startups] allows faculty to participate if one member of the team is a student. This limits opportunities for external innovation. However, there is a significant focus on encouraging innovation in the classroom environment and through industry partnerships. Opportunities to enhance learner experience (LX) and support academics in the transition to digital learning platforms such as the [https://futures.uts.edu.au/events/ LX.lab], [https://lx.uts.edu.au/futures/ futures blog] and online support platforms. These resources are designed to help academics build knowledge and confidence within the learning.futures mandate. Successful industry partnerships are well recognized across the university and celebrated through technology transfer, and licensing opportunities.

Students are encouraged to commercialize research through UTS Startups for work produced independently. Project work by faculty members and researchers is promoted for technology transfer to industry through Intellectual Property (IP) licensing or collaborative agreements in health, data science, sustainability, social futures, and future work and industry. Not all transfers have been technology based and many are the support of policy or advocacy work to the public sector and civil society.

These principles actively encourage research that can be commercialized by industry, government and community groups through publicly available policies and templates. The ATN promotes leadership by industry partners throughout the process of technology transfer. For IP with significant commercial value and a clear route to market UTS directly seeks to form a startup with relevant stakeholders or to find potential licensees. However for other IP, UTS promotes ‘Easy Access IP’ which supports the licensing of research with a single page agreement.  </~~div~~span> Successful commercialization and information transfer ideas from UTS include:  [http://www.mrcf.com.au/company/view/auspherix <span style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Auspherix]- an innovative pharmaceutical company to explore drugs to treat antibiotic resistant infections [https://www.uts.edu.au/research-and-teaching/industry-partnerships/ip-and-commercialisation/uts-ip-portfolio/health-12 <span style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Helmedix]- a helminth-based approach to treat autoimmune diseases [https://sabreautonomous.com.au/ <span style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Sabre Autonomous Solutions]- an autonomous grit-blasting robot to clean and prepare steel, stone and concrete in building projects   [https://www.uts.edu.au/sites/default/files/rio-free-access-legal-database-uts-austlii.pdf <span style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">AustLII]- a comprehensive online, open access and free database of Australian legal information  [https://www.uts.edu.au/sites/default/files/rio-manuka-honey-treatment-for-chronic-wounds-uts-i3.pdf <span style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Honey Treatment]- an approach to chronic wound treatment through Manuka Honey [https://www.uts.edu.au/sites/default/files/rio-evaluating-the-impact-of-the-emsm-uts-chere.pdf <span style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Medicare Safety Net]- the design of policy to decrease out-of-pocket expenses  [https://www.uts.edu.au/sites/default/files/rio-wash-in-international-development-uts-isf.pdf <span style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: transparent; font-weight: 700; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Advocacy]- collaboration with the Australian government to allocate $300 million for water, sanitation and hygiene in international development
