Technologies Needed by Industry Partners
At the Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM) meeting in February, UTSA’s Office of Commercialization and Innovation (OCI) met with many potential industry partners who are actively looking to license technology. OCI made an effort to understand what kinds of technologies companies were looking to add to their portfolios, and bring that information back to UTSA. Below you will find a list of technologies and areas of research interest to potential technology licensing partners. If you feel you have recent innovations related to these areas please contact the Office of Commercialization and Innovation at (210) 458-6963 to file a technology disclosure form.
