THE FACES OF INNOVATIVE SUCCESS
Pictured above is the entire research contingent, director and staff of the CLAIM laboratory at the University of Michigan where CLPAM research is performed.
WHEN TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER MATTERS MOST
IS your company in the race to translate research and technology into business opportunity?
ARE you neck and neck with competitors, or in danger of falling behind the manufacturing edge?
CAN you say that your company is an unchallenged powerhouse of productivity and ingenuity?
The pipeline between campus laboratories and the real world has widened in recent years and with it comes hope that rapid Technology Transfer will stimulate efficient manufacturing to produce increased sales and profits. Ultimately, tech transfer — putting university ideas into the hands of businesses — places research innovation and breakthroughs within the public’s reach. It also creates jobs and grows companies. The inventions can ignite a startup company or drive an established firm to add jobs and investment. (DETnews.com Dec. 4, 2006)
Partnership in LAM is an effective, low-cost method of addressing all of these issues and putting your company on the technologically competitive map.
