SmartTarget has now concluded a deal for the sale of its technology and assets to Intuitive Fusion LLC, owner of the Focalyx Suite, a state of the art platform for the delivery of biopsy and focal therapy procedures. 

As part of the deal, UCL Business Ltd (UCLB), the commercialisation company of UCL and a shareholder of SmartTarget Ltd, has entered into a licence agreement granting exclusivity of the underlying patents and core software to Intuitive Fusion. You can find out more on UCLB’s website.
