Technology transfer is the process in which knowledge, discoveries and inventions are made accessible to the general public. Technology transfer is carried out through research publications, education programs, and by turning technology into products via commercialization.
The Weizmann Institute of Science has a long and extremely successful history of technology transfer, which has greatly contributed to the Institute’s mission of “science for the benefit of humanity.”
