LicensableTechnology.com is a searchable database of innovative technologies available for license from some of the world’s leading research led organizations, helping to bridge the gap between innovative research and industry
EDINBURGH, United Kingdom, Jan. 16, 2012 — The process of commercializing technology from universities and other research institutions, generally referred to as “technology transfer,” is carried out by specialized departments or dedicated sub-units of organizations, whose mission is to nurture, protect and exploit new and early stage inventions to realize tangible benefits to the organization.
In doing so, identifying a market for the transfer of technology is key in assessing the commercial impact, no easy task when the target market can often consist of companies in sectors which value privacy and secrecy in their research and development activity.
Today, technology transfer offices are changing their approach, preferring to “get the technology out there,” advertising their available opportunities on their own website and hoping someone comes along who’s interested in a deal.
The LicensableTechnology.com database of technology licensing opportunities is a new platform, offering a searchable index of technology for transfer, aggregated from the marketing already undertaken by technology transfer offices around the world.
With no further effort required, an organization can leverage the time and effort already invested in publishing their available technologies and be included in the Licensable Technology database at no cost: immediately benefiting from an increased flow of interested parties.
Licensable Technology provides its users with regular statistics detailing click-through rates on each of their technologies from the LicensableTechnology.com database, offering a measurable indicator of success rate.
There are currently over 10,000 available technologies listed from research organizations worldwide.
