Tech. Transfer
Welcome to UOIT's Office of Technology Transfer & Commercialization (OTTC).
The OTTC connects UOIT research with the world of business. Our goal is to promote the application of UOIT research expertise and knowledge to solving real-world problems. This includes:
- Contract research;
- Intellectual property, patents, technology licensing and spin-off companies;
- Industry liaison.
We are a service unit for faculty, students, and industry and we pride ourselves on our helpfulness and professionalism.
We help industry by:
- Identifying experts and presenting a roadmap for maximizing the benefits from university interactions;
- Serving as a contact point to make sure interactions with UOIT are efficient and positive;
- Providing information on new technologies that UOIT has available for industry.
We help faculty and students by:
- Facilitating research partnerships with industry;
- Helping researchers to understand the business environment so they can effectively promote their ideas;
- Supporting the management of intellectual property so that research ideas turn into real products.
The OTTC is staffed by Ann Dulhanty, Manager, Szanne McNutt, Technology Transfer Officer and Kelly Hayes, Administrative Assistant.
The team has many years of experience in research partnerships and technology commercialization, and has helped many researchers to bring their dreams closer to reality.
