Technology Transfer Program
The Technology Transfer Program provides a forum for entrepreneurs and researchers from start-ups, major universities, businesses and national laboratories to present exciting new technologies which are ready and available for commercialization. The Program will kick off with a Tutorial for those that want to learn more about the licensing process – funding, entrepreneurship, technology transfer and intellectual property. During the Showcase, attendees will hear from several organizations about their latest license-ready optics and photonics technologies (intellectual property from universities and laboratories) that could lead to new commercial products or improve the efficiency, durability or availability of existing components or systems. In addition, organizations will feature their license ready technologies at tabletop displays in the exhibit hall.
Tabletop Display – FREE for Organizations to Present License Ready Technologies
A designated space near the Program area will be reserved for tabletops for interested organizations to showcase license ready technologies. The free space is available on a first come, first serve basis for the duration one day of the exhibition. Please email cam@osa.org to request an application, which will be reviewed and approved by the Committee and CLEO management.
