  • After that a business plan will be developed which leads to form a company and the technology arising from the intellectual property creation is licensed.As, NTV acts as a catalyst at this early phase, intellectual property creation is transferred to the commercial sector with the NTV’s early stage investment capital for business creation.
  • Using its relationships with the venture funding sources,NTV will work with the company to secure the conventional funding.
