National Technology Transfer Center

Description

Established by Congress in 1989, the Robert C. Byrd National Technology Transfer Center (NTTC) strengthens the competitiveness of U.S. industry by providing access to federally funded research.

The NTTC offers American businesses what they need to remain on the cutting edge of innovation: access to the technologies, facililities and world-class researchers within the federal laboratories and universities. The public-private alliances helps U.S. industry regain its historical leadership in the highly competitive world marketplace of high technology. The Internet, biomedicine, laptop computers, supermarket barcode scanners and life saving drugs are just some of the everyday products that originated in federal laboratories or universities. Yet without industry developers, such ideas would remain on laboratory shelves. The United States is unique in having a wealth of publicly funded research together with an entrepreneurial economy. The NTTC bridges these two sectors.

The NTTC serves an impressive array of federal agencies and private sector organizations, ranging from small companies to Fortune 500 enterprises. Several universities, through a partnership between the NTTC and the Association of University Technology Managers, have been clients as well.
