TeCC Team Supports NASA TecFusion™ Program

As Part of the SBIR/STTR Support Services to NASA Langley, the TeCC team with partner PennTAP is supporting the NASA TecFusion™ Program. Thanks to this important program, small companies and entrepreneurs are given an opportunity to present, license, and sell their technologies to large corporations. This successful program spurs economic development by spinning innovative technologies into the marketplace, potentially leading to new jobs. For additional details follow the link to the article, NASA TecFusion™ Program., in the spring 2009 issue of the The Penn State Iron (Industrial Research Office Newsletter).

TeCC Awarded NASA Langley Research Center SBIR/STTR Support Contract On March 13, 2009, TeCC was awarded a 5-year contract by NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) to provide support to the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program. TeCC's partner in this effort is the Pennsylvania Technology Assistance Program (PennTAP) at Penn State University. The TeCC effort will support the LaRC's Small Business Partnership Team in project management of the SBIR/STTR program. The SBIR/STTR support will include: review of proposals; outreach activities to promote the program; and implementation of NASA LaRC developed TecFusion Summits to infuse technologies into major user corporations.

TeCC Services

In addition to the SBIR/STTR support services for NASA Langley, TeCC assists industry, universities, and federal laboratories to realize the commercial potential of their inventions through effective marketing strategies, and licensing support. TeCC guides organizations through the technology commercialization process, from how tech transfer works to a detailed description of the technologies currently available for licensing or partnerships. This commercialization of technologies results in new products and enhancement of existing products. It's good for US private businesses and good for the organization. TeCC staff details the technologies that are currently available for sponsored research, licensing and/or patenting.

For available NASA Langley Research Center technologies TeCC urges you to visit the NASA LangleyTechnology Gateway.

TeCC helps small businesses obtain seed funding through SBIR/STTR proposal assistance, and is the technology export control agent for the National Institute of Aerospace (NIA).

Tell us your technology commercialization needs and we will be pleased to work with you at your convenience.
