Technology transfer involves moving a technology developed for one organization or environment into another. Often this movement is from a federal or university laboratory into a commercial operation, capitalizing on the investment in research and development that was initially directed to government use or to the advancement of science.
Bridging the gap from the university or government lab to the commercial world can be difficult, but the NTTC is experienced in managing the journey for clients. Whether it’s identifying a proper fit between a technology and an organization’s needs, or negotiating the inherent differences between the research lab’s focus and the commercial sector’s interests, the NTTC specializes in driving the process forward for successful technology transfer.
