Technology Commercialization Guide
Our Technology Commercialization Guide was created to help Rochester faculty members, post-doctoral fellows, students, staff, and affiliates better understand how technology is transferred out of the University environment and into external organizations such as established companies.
This resource will provide basic knowledge, best practices, useful resources, and answers to common questions. Our goal is to give you a framework to improve your chances of commercializing your technology.
