Our collaborative and iterative approach
We believe innovation thrives through collaboration. That’s why we work hand-in-hand with your university’s technology transfer office (TTO) or commercialization champions if your university has no technology transfer office. These university experts understand your institution’s research landscape, while TTAC brings extensive commercialization knowledge. Together, we offer a seamless and iterative approach to technology development.
- We encourage you to submit your ideas at any stage. No concept is too early – we’re happy to discuss your ideas and provide initial feedback to help you refine them.
- We work collaboratively with your university’s TTO throughout the process. This ensures a smooth technology transfer process, combines our expertise, and streamlines your journey from idea to market.
