Technology Transfer

The goal of any successful technology transfer office is to be responsive to its stakeholders and increase output to fuel commercialization of important research discovery. Yet in academia, as well as other sectors, the tech transfer operation can be a source of friction, inefficiencies and high turnover. At its core, Borman & Company helps technology transfer teams work better.

​

BUSINESS MODEL OPTIMIZATION

More often than not, a well-intentioned, hard-working team in the tech transfer office is under siege. Symptoms can range from dropped patents, frustrated internal stakeholders and discord in partner relationships. We begin every engagement with an in-depth investigation to develop an understanding of the workflow, people, and processes. A successful tech transfer operation depends on alignment of people and process; roles need to be understood and resourced appropriately so that people can be accountable for success.

​

PARTNER IDENTIFICATION & COLLABORATION

As industry outsources more and more of its research, Borman & Company will help identify where quality research is being done and locate potential research partners, whether that be CROs, academic institutions or entrepreneurial ventures. We pride ourselves in the ability to make the connection and manage strategic relationships with the precise research partners that will support industry’s mission-critical development. Grounded in an in-depth analysis of the patent portfolio, our proven analytic model identifies the research to fill the gaps.

OUTSOURCED TECH TRANSFER

In some instances, considering the challenges of managing a successful technology transfer office, clients have made the decision to outsource the entire function to Borman & Company. Our goal in running an efficient technology transfer operation is always to increase the output and responsiveness of the organization to key stakeholders and implement a process that satisfies researchers and supports the goals of the institution.
