Technology Transfer

The Office of Technology Licensing (OTL) at the University of Florida was established in 1985 to work with inventors to facilitate the transfer of technologies created at UF to the commercial sector for public benefit. We are dedicated to assisting employees who feel they have something new and useful, that is potentially patentable or copyrightable.

Florida Innovation Hub at UF

The Florida Innovation Hub at UF is a 45,000-square-foot facility that was recently funded by an $8.2 million federal Economic Development Administration grant. The facility, slated to be built on what is now a parking lot at Shands AGH, will provide technology start-up companies connected with the university with office space, laboratories, conference rooms and other capabilities. In addition, it will house UF's Office of Technology Licensing and UF Tech Connect, the main commercialization offices for the university. For more information, click here.
