Technology transfer at Sandia National Laboratories

Transferring technology to the private sector to help improve the competitiveness of key US industries is now an official mission of the US Department of Energy´s defense program national laboratories. We believe that national laboratories can play an important role in addressing US industrial competitiveness. Sandia is seeking to match laboratory strengths with industry-defined market needs in targeted industrial sectors. Sandia, like other national and federal laboratories, is developing an aggressive technology transfer program. This paper provides a brief review of our program and provides a snapshot of where we are at today.<>
