SIU Office of Technology Transfer

SIU’s central Office of Technology Transfer works with SIU faculty, students, and staff to protect and commercialize intellectual property generated from all system campuses – SIU Carbondale, SIU Edwardsville, and the Springfield-based School of Medicine. From exploring the market potential of an invention to negotiating licensing agreements with industry partners, we work to turn SIU innovations into global difference-makers.

The SIU system plays an integral role in driving economic growth in southern and central Illinois. The Office of Technology Transfer is proud to contribute to this growth by facilitating the commercialization of discoveries made by our world-class researchers. Since 1990, SIU has licensed more than 150 patents and other articles of intellectual property to third parties to bring to market.
