What is Technology Transfer?
We promote knowledge sharing amongst our partners
The Stevenson-Wydler Technology Innovation Act of 1980 established technology transfer as a mission of the federal government.
Technology Transfer is the process of sharing or disseminating technology, knowledge, skills, manufacturing methods, samples of manufacturing, and facilities among governments, universities, and other institutions to ensure that scientific and technological developments are accessible to a wider range of users who can then further develop and exploit the technology into new products, processes, applications, materials, or services. This process is vital for the progress of new technologies and innovations.
Technology Transfer plays a crucial role in both global technological advancement and in addressing local or regional problems through tailored technologies.
The ultimate goal of technology transfer is to translate scientific and technological advances into societal and economic benefits.
