Commercialization is a continuing area of focus at IPST at Georgia Tech. Towards that end, we now provide Technology Transfer Fact Sheets that summarize key Institute developments available for implementation or that outline other Institute capabilities.

Technology Transfer Fact Sheets are available in printable PDF format.
To view these files you must use Adobe Acrobat Reader version 4.0 or higher. Acrobat Reader can be downloaded free from the Adobe software website.

Information about IPST at Georgia Tech's collaborations with the Office of Industrial Technologies (OIT) within the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is also available.
