Technology Transfer

Ohio IP Promise

We welcome industry partners, entrepreneurs, and investors to explore UToledo's portfolio of cutting-edge technologies and intellectual property.

Our experienced team works closely with organizations of all sizes to identify high-potential technologies, structure flexible agreements, and accelerate product development toward market adoption.

Whether you are looking to enhance your existing product pipeline, secure a strategic collaboration, or license innovations with the potential to disrupt new markets, we invite you to connect with Technology Transfer to advance your organization’s goals.

Working Together

Organizations interested in exploring commercialization opportunities are encouraged to browse our portfolio on the Available Technologies webpage. Detailed technical information is available upon request, and accessing non-public discoveries may require a Confidentiality Agreement.

We offer a variety of flexible pathways to align with your organization's objectives, including license agreements, option agreements, and material transfer agreements.

If a specific licensable technology does not currently exist, companies can engage directly with faculty through Sponsored Research Partnerships. These collaborations leverage UToledo’s expertise and research capabilities while establishing a clear framework for accessing future intellectual property resulting from the project.
