NASA Tech Transfer Portal Unveiled
| | |
Bringing technology from NASA back down to Earth
NASA's new technology transfer portal,
http://technology.nasa.gov/, provides an Internet-based easy-to-navigate tool to find NASA technologies for adoption, licensing, and partnership opp-
ortunities. Technologies from all ten NASA centers across the nation are listed. Use the Portal to find potentially game-changing technologies to enhance existing technology or products, or enable a completely new capability that could transform an industry.
But what are the next steps after finding a technology that might be a fit? CAMT & NASA have partnered to offer Colorado manufacturers like you a program to bridge "the valley of death" that often stops new product development and introduction in its tracks. A NASA Technology Transfer Advisor has been placed with CAMT who can help navigate NASA personnel and fully vet technologies for product portfolio compatibility. Together, NASA & CAMT can help you catapult top-line growth by leveraging NASA technologies and resources to create new products, processes and markets, and ensure they are developed and delivered quickly, optimized for efficiency and maximized profits.
