NIST researchers work to develop cutting-edge technologies in various fields, including quantum computing. Once these innovations are discovered, the Technology Partnerships Office (TPO) at NIST helps transfer them to the private sector for commercialization, aligning with NIST’s mission to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness.
The TPO utilizes the “Discovery” digital database to perform market analysis, allowing researchers to tailor their innovations towards the greater market. This platform provides access to over 220 million industry partners and 140 million patents, enabling TPO to identify potential collaborators and facilitate technology transfer from public to private sector.
