Technology Transfer

Center for Technology Transfer and Enterprise Creation

It's no secret that Carnegie Mellon faculty and researchers create extraordinary inventions. The Center for Technology Transfer connects Carnegie Mellon inventions with the companies that can successfully introduce them to the public. These creations fall along many stages of the commercialization continuum, from embryonic technologies that, with some work, will fundamentally change an industry, to "off-the-shelf" technology that is ready for a company to bring it to market. Contact the Center for Technology Transfer and Enterprise Creation to identify technologies that will complement and grow your business.

Soldiers, fire fighters, and high school chemistry students have Carnegie Mellon alumna, Stephanie Kwolek (pictured) to thank. Her discoveries led to the invention of Kevlar, the synthetic fiber used in bullet-proof vests, and fire-safe suits. The celebrated chemist also devised the “The Nylon Rope Trick,” a polymer experiment performed in high schools nationwide.
