Technology Transfer

We commercialize cutting-edge discoveries and technologies by fostering collaborations with industry through licensing and sponsored research. Brookhaven's state-of-the-art facilities are available to industry for research and development in many fields. We actively promote the formation of start-up companies around technologies developed here. We grant licenses and take equity in new ventures arising from our discoveries, and we also seek funding from investors to develop new intellectual assets as they move toward the marketplace.
