We welcome you as a partner in commercializing our technology. Relationships that lead to technology transfer are accomplished through a variety of avenues that bring the University and industry together in mutually beneficial ways.

The Office of Technology Transfer and Economic Development (OTTED) evaluates, markets and licenses technology owned by the University of Hawaii (UH). OTTED's goal is to promote industry-university collaboration on research projects, and encourage effective technology transfer for the public benefit as well as generating royalty income for UH to benefit research and education.

The University of Hawaii (UH) has a long history of cooperating with industry to facilitate the development and transfer of important knowledge and technologies that improve the health and productivity of our society and contribute to strengthening our state's economy. Through extensive scientific research programs and use of its state of the art facilities, UH supports the discovery and dissemination of significant scientific advances and major technical breakthroughs, which fuel an increasing number of technology transfer opportunities. Licensing our available technologies can give your business the competitive edge it needs to succeed in the market place.
