Technology Marketing Site


Welcome to the University of Minnesota Technology Marketing Site. Our portfolio of inventions provides a complete, search-able listing of available technologies, developed by world-renowned faculty, from across the University. We have categorized these inventions into Agriculture and Horticulture, Life Sciences, Physical Engineering Sciences and Software and Information Technologies.

Each technology listing includes a detailed technology description and the contact information for the appropriate Technology Marketing Manager. Additionally, some technologies may be licensed, non-exclusively, online.  These agreements have standard terms and conditions that enable immediate licensing using a credit card or eCheckĀ®. More information is available on the FAQ's page.

New University of Minnesota inventions are presented to the public through this Technology Marketing Site. If a partner has a specific need, OTC may help facilitate a Sponsored Research Agreement through Sponsored Projects Administration (SPA).  Typically, Sponsored Research Agreements provide companies a first option to exclusively license any inventions arising from the contracted work.  For more information please review the SPA website
