WHAT IS TECH TRANSFER?
Technology transfer is the process by which new inventions and other innovations created in research institutions’ labs are turned into products and commercialized. This is typically done in two ways: through licensing patented intellectual property to corporations, and the creation of start-up companies, which also often license the IP created by faculty.
