Commercialization Expertise

TEC Edmonton's Technology Transfer Program works with University of Alberta researchers/inventors to assist in the management of intellectual property, and to help move toward commercialization of novel advanced-technologies with high-growth potential.

The Technology Transfer Program has two teams with skills and expertise specific to different disciplines:

• Natural Sciences & Engineering Technology Transfer Team

The Technology Transfer Program also overlaps with the work of our spin-off company development team:
