Technology Transfer
at the DOE National Laboratories

The U.S. Department Of Energy’s national laboratory system, created over a half-century ago, represents the most comprehensive research system of its kind in the world. These laboratories perform research and development that is not well suited to university or private sector research facilities because of its scope, infrastructure, or multidisciplinary nature, but for which there is a strong public and national purpose.

A high level of collaboration among all of the national laboratories in the use of world-class scientific equipment and supercomputers, facilities, and multidisciplinary teams of scientists increases their collective contribution to DOE and the Nation, making the laboratory system more valuable as a whole than as the sum of its parts.

Each of the DOE national laboratories also has a tech transfer office.

Provided below are links to the 17 DOE national laboratories, plus links to their tech transfer office websites – or information about how to contact their tech transfer offices.
