 FedMarketplace
The FedMarketplace@WBT connects federal labs and agencies within the WBT Markeptlace, facilitating the transition of promising technologies developed at federal agencies and federal labs available for purchase, licensing to industry, and strategic partnerships.
The FedMarketPlace@WBT serves as a focal point for lab, agency leaders, lab researchers and tech transfer professionals, to discuss the variety of technology opportunities available for investment and licensing specific to their lab or agency. Our goal is to narrow the enormous set of opportunities currently available at a given lab or agency, and vet these opportunities to a workable group where all may benefit from participation in the WBT in a methodical, supportive manner.
