Technology Commercialization – Browse and Search for Technology Opportunities

Intellectual property exchanges started popping up a few years ago, with the promise of easily handling all aspects of the technology transfer process. Despite many attempts without numerous revisions, most of the exchanges shifted toward becoming nothing more than an online IP database. Some exchanges tried a narrow focus toward a particular technology or industry while neglecting others, providing limited support for most other types of IP. Although the promise of an all-encompassing solution to automated technology commercialization is still exciting, a viable and extensible solution hasn’t yet been found.

TechWhiteBoard is a new web application developed at Technology Ventures Corporation that attempts to alleviate many of the problems with the previous generation of IP exchanges. The web site was designed using the latest web 2.0 technologies and focusing on proactively keeping communication alive among inventors, technology transfer offices, venture capitalists and businesses. Instead of becoming just an online database or narrowly focused segment, it is designed around connecting all stakeholders: inventors, licensors, entrepreneurs, investors and businesses.
