Commercialize My Research
Each year, U.Va. researchers like you work toward better, smaller, faster, safer, longer-lasting and/or less-expensive tools to improve the human experience. These advancements — in medicine, engineering, the basic sciences and a variety of other disciplines — are more than theoretical. If protected and commercialized, your research discoveries could be applied beyond the lab, in a real-world setting, and they could have a real impact on people's lives.
Technology transfer and commercialization are becoming an increasingly important part of the academic world. Leaders in industry look to strong academic research institutions like the University of Virginia for the early-stage technologies that will serve as the foundation for their next-generation products and services in an endless array of fields.
