In April 2005 Imperial Innovations entered into a 15-year agreement with Imperial College London to commercialise technology derived from research at Imperial. Imperial Innovations also commercialises technologies originating from outside Imperial College through incubation contracts with the Carbon Trust and Waste & Resources Action Programme and has commercialisation contracts with a number of multinational corporations including BAE Systems.
