Study for Technology Commercialization Ecosystem Models through Case Studies in the Southern Region of the United States

Abstract

Many universities, specifically their technology licensing offices, are very active in technology transfer and technology commercialization. In addition to that, part of technology transfers and commercialization are being done by venture capitalists due to complex processes with TLO-mediated commercialization processes. However, it seems that a combined model with these two models can make up for disadvantages from each model to enhance the rate of successful technology transfer or commercialization. Some cases occurred in the southern part of United States will be discussed for these model analysis.
