Fourteen finalists pitched their innovations at the first annual Lab Venture Challenge (LVC), a funding competition run by the Technology Transfer Office (TTO) and designed to help commercially-promising technologies accelerate into impactful business ventures.

Often technology transfer is dominated by activities in engineering and the biosciences. “But interestingly, we see it starting to become a campus-wide effort now with innovations coming out of the College of Music, athletics and all these different pockets of the university that are new,” says TTO director Bryn Rees.

With a renewed focus on the 91������ campus and new initiatives aimed at streamlining the path from science to commercialization, the Technology Transfer Office is on pace for a record year and poised to provide even greater support for faculty.
