Technology Commercialization

Innovation and Commercialization

We advance the university’s research to impact lives by translating Ohio State innovations into business opportunities in the global marketplace. The innovation and commercialization team is the first resource for inventors at the university. We engage with faculty and staff to help evaluate, protect and ultimately find the right market for intellectual property—through licensing or creating a startup company. 

For Ohio State inventors

Our team is here to help you through the commercialization process.

For companies

We are here to help you find the right university resources for your company needs. Learn more about engaging with the university including licensing one of our technologies.
