== '''Actively supporting Supporting the university technology transfer functionUniversity Technology Transfer Function''' ==
METU Tech Transfer Office is supporting new ideas with 3 units. These are “IP and Contracts Unit”, “Commercialization Unit” and “University-Industry Collaboration Unit”.
Within the scope of commercialization activities; studies are conducted to develop and commercialize more than 150 inventions and designs in the METU TTO portfolio and transfer them to the market. The commercialization activities conducted by METU TTO are:
* Starting negotiations by determining the companies related to the inventions in the portfolio, conducting their processes * Commercialization of the intellectual property rights by transferring or licensing * Increasing the technological maturity levels of the inventions by establishing spin-offs* Creating an effective network with the investors and managing bilateral relations sustainably * Establishing collaborations for recognition, awareness, and commercialization in international platforms
The level of maturity of the invention (research result), the amount of infrastructure and investment support needed for the development of the invention, the size of the potential market for the product to be commercialized, the growth trend of the market, its advantages over competing technologies and the expectations of the academician and the company from the collaboration are the most critical issues that stand out in the commercialization process of the inventions.
