Kansai Technology Licensing Organization was established in 1998 as a technology transfer company that covers wide regions in Japan. The company went through the deterioration of management and accumulative deficits but improved its management by developing the freedom as an external TLO and the development of its own human resources. Furthermore, Kansai TLO became a subsidiary of Kyoto University in 2016 with its stronger connection with Kyoto University and is currently working both as a TLO specialized for IP office of Kyoto University and as a wide region TLO.
