Licensed Technologies

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.
