DOE Hopes
Portal Will Spur Investment
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced it has more than
200 marketing summaries available on its Technology
Commercialization Portal to help investors, entrepreneurs and
companies seeking cutting-edge energy efficiency and renewable energy
technologies available for licensing. The Technology
Commercialization Portal is an online resource that serves as a tool
to identify opportunities to invest in work being conducted by DOE
laboratories and participating research institutions. The use of this
tool allows the Department to accelerate the process of moving
discoveries from the laboratory to the private sector, ensuring that
America's scientific leadership translates into new, high-paying jobs
for America's families.
These summaries explain technologies from a market opportunities
perspective. The summaries offer a description of a technology,
highlight the potential benefits, applications, advantages, and stage
of development, and can connect investors and organizations to the
proper licensing contact. According to DOE, the Technology
Commercialization Portal, supported by the Office of Energy
Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), is
one of the most effective ways for investors and companies to utilize
the resources of the DOE Labs.
Technologies featured on the Portal come from DOE Labs and
participating research institutions. The Web site is organized into
14 technology categories and features a streamlined search for
specific technologies, and allows the user to browse by subject area
and sign up for e-mail updates.
In addition to the summaries focused on market opportunities for
these technologies, the Portal also has access to information on more
than 14,000 patents and patent applications created using DOE funding
since 1992. To learn about other partnership opportunities with DOE,
visit the Department's Technology Transfer
Web site.
