Technology Transfer
The National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 and a series of subsequent legislation recognizes transfer of Federally owned or originated technology to be a national priority and the mission of each Federal agency. Accordingly, NASA is obliged to provide for the widest practicable dissemination of information concerning results of NASA's activities. The legislation specifically mandates that each Federal agency have a formal technology transfer program, and take an active role in transferring technology to the private sector and state and local governments for the purposes of commercial and other application of the technology for the national benefit. In accordance with NASA's obligations under mandating legislation, IPP, on behalf of NASA, facilitates the transfer of technology to which NASA has title for commercial application and other national benefit. IPP seeks out potential licensees and negotiates license agreements to transfer NASA technology. IPP typically facilitates over 50 new licenses with the private sector each year. More than 1500 such technology transfer successes have been documented in NASA's Spinoff Magazine over the years.

Over the past fifty years NASA had peformed some amazing feats and made many powerful discoveries. However, we are very aware that we don't have all the answers. Therefore, NASA continuously looks for partners to help develop new technologies, inform the public about our advancements, or to take our existing business practices to a new level of effectiveness. If you have an idea that you think might help NASA advance its missions, then please contact us.

Federal Lab Consortium (FLC) National + View Site
The FLC is a national organization, established by Congress through the 1986 Federal Technology Transfer Act, to foster the transfer of technology from federal research laboratories and agencies to other agencies, state and local governments, academia, and the private sector. This Consortium has both a national organization and region structure.
