Through technology licensing, industry helps translate
new discoveries into commercially usable products and processes.
Working together, the national laboratories and U.S. industry can
help strengthen America's competitiveness in the world marketplace.
The ever-changing list of technologies available for licensing reflects
the diversity of Berkeley Lab's research. Here are some of our licensees
and the technologies they are commercializing. Also see a list of
Start-up companies
based on licensed Berkeley Lab technology.
