Technology Commercialization

For many challenges faced by Iowa companies, there’s a researcher at Iowa State University who can help. But how do you find these experts? How do you ensure that the project meets its goals? How do you pay the researchers?

The answers can be found in the Technology Commercialization Group within IPRT Company Assistance. IPRT’s technology commercialization associates address product and process development projects and industrial technical problems and work to accelerate commercialization of technology.

IPRT’s technology commercialization associates develop and manage collaborative projects between Iowa State researchers and Iowa companies. Each year, the group develops about 25 such projects.

The group has funds to share the cost of research, with an average of $15,000 per project. But its focus is on developing and managing projects. The group’s associates can:

• Assemble a research team
• Lead meetings and monitor projects to meet goals and deadlines.
• Prepare technologies for commercialization or to be further developed with industry. These efforts range from seed funding research to working with Iowa State researchers.
• Develop research proposals and contracts.
