Industrial Business Development renamed Technology Transfer Division

The Industrial Business Development Division has officially changed its name to Technology Transfer (TT) Division in the hopes of shortening the explanation of who they are and what they do for their clients - those internal to the Laboratory as well as those in the regional business community and across the nation. The name change was effective Feb. 2.

The Technology Transfer Division, as it has for more than a decade under several different names, helps move technologies from the Lab to the marketplace to benefit society, the U.S. economy and to bolster regional economic development. TT Division accomplishes this by developing and managing an array of partnerships with the public and the private sectors.

Staff in TT Division are experts in technology transfer agreements, intellectual property protection, licensing, marketing and entrepreneurial activities, who work to expedite interactions between Laboratory technical staff and technology partners. The goal of the TT Division specialists is to establish dual-benefit collaborations that meet the needs of both the Laboratory and its partners.

The division's offices are still located at 2237 Trinity Drive, next to the Los Alamos Inn. Their telephone number remains 5-9091, and the TT Division Web page is at www.lanl.gov/partnerships online.
