Technology Transfer
Many Colorado bioscience companies have been launched out of our world-class research institutions. The Technology Transfer offices of these institutions help research faculty license their technology, protect their intellectual property and in some cases, form a company. The Colorado BioScience Association is developing a list of resources available to bioscience industry members at research institutions throughout the state. While ultimately intended to be as comprehensive as possible, this listing will initially focus on selected areas and expand with time.
